Homeland
January 9, 2014
My homeland
In the island
that grows my happiness
nurtures my love
expands my kindness.
My homeland
seems just so far away
the weeks i left
I was naive.
My family in the homeland,
my friends i left,
In my homeland
such a beauty
its a pity
a land of many people
black,yellow,and green
the colors of the bravery.
My homeland,
so far away from me
it shows my beauty
that I cant see.
But my homeland is just
so far away,
I hope to see it
another
day.

Love the figurative language and emotion behind this piece. I have to say I don't like the way the poem is broken up into stanzas though. Also, "I was naive" feels a bit out of place. Other than that this is really sweet and deep.
