Poetry: My favorite things

by Jennifer E. Brown

Listening to music on a lazy afternoon
or snuggling up by a warm, cozy fire
If the tree's leaves are golden and orange
Running through them is very inspired.

After a hard night's work, I log onto chat
To catch up on the lives of my friends
Chatting and playing games on Facebook
Add pictures, play games, comment again.

Nancy Grace's show is my latest TV addiction
It's the most news I get in an entire day
I listen to all types of genres of music now
But my country music never leaves me astray.

I love walking and going to the city of Chicago
I often take the train to Depaul with my best friend
From my backyard, I get remarkable sunsets in summer
I can see the entire sky without any end.

I like to make everyone around me try to laugh
Because life is too serious in these modern times
I like to learn and gain knowledge in all areas
And find it hard to be creative sometimes.

Ice cream sundaes with carmel, hot fudge and nuts
Would be the ideal summertime treat
Spending time at the pool on hot summer days
As I try to avoid the scorching heat.

I love to spend time with family and friends
Whether it's traveling or just lounging around
What I like most lately, though, is being grateful
Because soon I will be moving from this town.
