Dream Walk Haley Miner

I started writing my poem and I was having trouble so I first started to think of the ABAB pattern and that failed so I stopped doing that and just wrote. It was really hard for me to write the poem because I was never much of a poet and I always hated to write poetry in class because I was never really good at it. I knew i had to get this poem done so I really just wrote and thought it worked.

Dream Walk
By Haley Miner

 

New York 1974

Old, dirty, and full of skyscrappers

Philippe Petit saw New York's shore.

 His dream was impossible,

Impossible but i'll do it he said.

On top of the south tower is where

The lightbulb was lit.

 

Fishing line was shot

From South Tower to North

Eight times he crossed

Yet his balance was never lost.

Not a tight rope walker, a tight rope dancer

Philippe Petit's dream was finally answered

Big dreams impossible? I think not.
