Identity

You are the breeze that arrives with sudden brush

This was my attempt at trying to sound cool and Shakespearean. I'm not sure if it's grammatically correct (in the Shakespearean sense), but I gave it a shot, and I really like it.

This poem I feel is a real testament to today's social landscape. Please let each word resonate in your brain so that you can truly conceive my message. It won my school's poetry competition. I believe that the reason for it winning is because of what the poem stands for.

The painting below is just my interpretation. But therein lies the beauty of poetry: there are so many ways of looking at a poem that the work becomes personal for every one of us.
