On Turning Ten
By Billy Collins
"It is time to say good-bye to my imaginary friends"
I'm not a big poetry person. I never have been. And to be honest, I wasn't super excited about this assignments.
But I like Billy.
He can write about things in his poetry and still make sense. He doesn't have to write in the cryptic code of poetry.
I love the line above from his poem On Turning Ten.
This year has been a year of decisions and growing up. I have had to come to terms with the fact that my life is continuing whether I like it or not.
I decided to just accept it and love ever minute of it. I didn't want to let go of still being a kid and "saying good-bye to my imaginary friends" but that's what happens.
It happens. To everyone.
And I just have to keep on living and not sulk in the past.
Great picture to go with the great poem. Good job on this assignment. You connected the poem to yourself.
