Blog Desert Archetype #5

I'm lost in the sand
I have so much to withstand
I have lost my chance

All hope is lost now
Mouths so dry that they blister
No word I can say

They circle around
They see every move I make
But no help they give

Look up to the sky
And perhaps the star will guide
To some unknown life

Time is not a gift
As my skin burns from my sins
Silence come take me

Do I hear you speak
Oh no, wait that was the wind
Come forth and confess

I need you near me
Without you, I have no ground
Lord, deliver me

Can't you hear me cry
Without you I have no rye
Please don't let me die

Walking without aim
Is that not an Oasis
Perhaps I'm not done

Finally, I m delivered
I am thankful I'm saved now
Back to my normal life.

Hot during the day
But freezing cold in the night
Such is desert life

    The fact that you maintained the haiku syllable requirements throughout is hella impressive. This poem is a really interesting interpretation of what it means to be in the desert. It does a really good job of actually putting you in the shoes of someone who is and almost understanding the experience as if it was you.

              Hello, my name is Dongni Alcantara and I am an 11th Grader here at WBAIS. Before I came here to WBAIS I used to live in Jerusalem, so I didn't live far from here. I lived in Jerusalem for 4 years and went to two different school in this time span. The two school were JAIS (the sister school of WBAIS) and the Anglican International School of Jerusalem. In my previous school (Anglican) we weren't required to bring our own laptops to school however, we were encouraged to do so and many of my fellow students did so. Since it wasn't mandatory to have laptops they did have a computer lab where many students did their digital work. I've previously taken a class called digital design where we learn to create different digital products for a chosen audience. For example I made a magazine with a group a friends that was targeted at people who were interested in current events and news in areas like sports, politics, etc.       ...
