    About this ebook

    These are all original poems I wrote throughout a year. I write what comes to mind or based off memories. A few of my poems are based of some of my favorite memories while the rest are fiction. Imagination is a writers greatest tool, and my imagination roams wild.

      Imagination Roams Wild - Marissa Steidl

      Imagination Roams Wild

      By Marissa Steidl

      Copyright 2012 by Marissa Steidl

      Smashwords Edition

      Forgotten

      A heart long forgotten

      Fragile and old

      Put in the attic

      Collecting dust and cobwebs

      Its been years since this heart has been used

      The person as cold as the winter

      Not needing a heart

      No compassion for those he hurts

      Leaving destruction in his wake

      He forgot he even had a heart

      Until one day a little girl approached him

      And asked him why he was so cruel

      The question stumped him

      He searched everywhere

      Giving up when he reached the attic

      But finding hope when he looked upon the highest shelf

      Gingerly reaching for the heart

      He closes his hand over it

      As it's warmth radiates through him

      Memories

      A box filled to the brink with items of the past

      A torn, dirty teddy bear from my childhood

      Old dolls I grew bored with

      Photographs from first grade

      A Halloween costume

      A drawing I made in the fifth grade

      Books that were never a challenge to me

      Melted crayons

      Coloring books and markers

      A game-boy used many times

      Mini clay bowl

      Photos of me and friends

      Books bags tattered and worn

      All packed into one box

      And stored away

      The Meadow

      You run through the meadow

      Carrying your school books

      Trying to ignore the pain

      That fills you to the brink

      Ignoring the tears that run down your face

      Escaping the bully's that live to hurt you

      Tripping over a rock

      You fall down

      As the books fly out

      You wait for the crash

      But instead the books freeze

      Still in the air so close to the ground

      Sitting up, you look around

      Finally a place where everything stops

      Before you can get hurt

      Laughing as you dance around

      Forgetting the pain

      You & Me

      Together we'll float away

      These
