My Diamante Poem

For one of my school samples I had to write a diamante poem. So here it is.

Autumn

colorful, chilly,

Thanksgiving, changing, harvesting,

They both have different colors

growing, hatching, planting,

animals, flowers,

Spring

What happens when you don't pay attention

In literature I've been learning about expressive poems, or poems that create moods. In my literature school book it said to read an expressive poem. I thought it said to write one. So I wrote this big long poem that's really dumb. Then I was reading the next assignment, and realized that I really didn't need to write it at all! It's an awful feeling, realizing that you have done more school than you needed to. I hate pretty much any school, and doing more than I need to (especially in literature) is just not the way I do it. Since then I have double checked what I need to do in school!

Warning: If you are any kind of a nice person at all you will stop reading right here. My mom is making me post my poem, even though I don't want to.

Walking, just walking
I'll never stop
not even after the sun is up.

Walking, just walking
I'm tired now,
but I can't stop now
I won't.

I see a river up ahead
I have to reach it soon.
A place where no fear or hurt can penetrate
I'll get there by nightfall at this rate.

But I can't go farther
I can't, I can't!
But I must
I must, I must!

Up ahead is rest, is shelter
but I'm tired
too tired.

I need to not feel.
I won't, I won't.

I have to keep walking,
walking, walking.
I look nowhere
but straight ahead.

It seems like forever
that I'll have to walk.

I can't stop
I have to keep walking,
walking,
walking.
