This is the poem that won me second place in the Collective Banter Spring 2010 competition. Enjoy

~ Liam Thompson, 9th Grade.

Watch the sky, wait for me there.

Sit among the independent clouds

where the sun is free to reach the heavens.

Look for me here.

I am right beside you.

Watch the caves, search for me there.

Glide through the darkened taverns

where adventure looms beyond the eerie sculptures.

Look for me here

I am right beside you.

Watch the sea, long for me there.

See the wisps of sand stir the coral

where polished paint splatters in intricate distinction.

Look for me here.

I am right beside you.

Study the pages, learn from me there.

Behold the worldís mind revealed,

where shaded dashes remember history’s knowledge.

Look for me here.

I am right beside you.

Not black and white past, but colorful future.

The world you are in is the world I inhabit.

My mind wanders the world you see, that is who I am.

Look for me here.

I am right beside you.

    Nice! I really like it! I found the the actual poem on the original site (I take it your name isn’t Seamus?). Absolutely love it!

    I also couldn’t help but notice the lie break was different from the original…
