Poems from The Little Prince
I started writing poetry when I was around 16 or so, and have been writing ever since. I'm presently in college majoring in Psychology so I can eventually become a psychologist (after much grad school). In terms of personality I am an INFP, if one is using the MBTI, and I have a melancholic temperament, which, combined with my unbeatable sense of idealism, makes for an interesting combination. My poetry is often very idealistic, and I usually enjoy using rhythm and rhyme while allowing the poem's meaning to be fairly accessible, and yet deep enough that multiple readings could bring out more flavor from the text. Hope you enjoy, and feel free to tell me if you find anything wrong/right with what I've written, I appreciate any constructive criticism and critical praise. Thanks!

And makes the...
I walk along a field of grey
Upon a cloud above the earth
As high as Aether, just the sky,
But wait, what beauty's caught my sight?

I would rather fall into a pit
While gazing at a star
Than always walk with certain step
And never looking far.
I would rather be on...
