Poem

I had to write a poem about something that is a goal you may never achieve. I titled it Chalky Dream. I'm not a good poet and this is the first try at it. So don't be too harsh, if you have any nice suggestions just comment.

Chalky Dream

Cloudy and white

Yet still in sight,

Five colored rings,

Shine a light.

“Hard work will get you there”

They all say

But how can they be sure?

Because this goal is not obscure.

It’s a chalky dream,

Cloudy and white

That may hold a future so bright.

But when timing seems right

And you feel at a prime

You just may find

Hard work

will not be enough this time.
