In this poem I was trying to emulate, albeit poorly, Sonia Sanchez. I was trying to emulate to some extent her poem titled "Poem # 3." I deviated greatly from the theme of her poem however I was trying to make my poem a counterpoint of hers. Hers starts with gathering what someone left behind and I in turn scatter what the person is causing or giving. This of course does not directly relate to something happening in my life now but was done for practice purposes and to be a contrast to her poem while still trying to emulate the style. I hope you like it.
I scatter,
Each tear,
Cherry blossoms,
In the spring,
Sheets wet,
Soul dry,
My sorrow,
Your flower garden.
