Where Has the Wonder Gone?


I’ve no inspiration to write this

poem.

No feelings.

Not one interesting thought. 

 

When did the times of being entranced

by this world

come to an end?

 

Where has the wonder gone-

the passion-

the adventure?

 

Slowly it is stamped out,

like boots suffocating a flame,

by the petty stresses of life.

 

Oh, where has the wonder gone?

I'm a senior in high school and I love the arts! I seem to have developed quite a fondness for poetry~
