This poem was an English assignment in which we had to write a poem about a picture. I chose a picture I took while spinning in a circle on a bus (don’t ask) and this was the result.

Spinning

Spinning around and around

Blocking out all sound

Moving my feet along the ground

My heart begins to pound

Vision turning

Faces blurring

Spinning around and around

Sliding by in an ever growing haze

Almost all is lost to my gaze

Sights will forever fail to amaze

All becomes a growing blaze

Vision turning

Faces blurring

Spinning around and around

The dizzying ride comes to an end

My head begins to bend

Knees begin to crack

Falling onto my back

Vision turning

Faces blurring

Lying on the ground
