I wrote this for Lit. class. I just thought I'd share it for fun. I gave it iambic meter and rhyme scheme for 10 points extra credit on a test ^^
The Bridge that Leads from Childhood
There is a bridge from childhood
I heard of long ago
It leadeth to a foreign place
of which I do not know
It is a long, blind, winding bridge
with sticks and stones along the way
and at the end there is a light
the shines as bright and clear as day
Those who've gone across have said
it's not as bright as first appears
this foreign place has it's own flaws
that differ from the younger years
Perhaps you've been along the path
that takes a short eternity
the bridge they titled adolecence
and the place maturity
