What is the Stantonian Association of Interesting People?

My friends, this blog is dedicated to those men and women who go out of their way to be remarkably interesting. In other words, all of those fascinating Stanton students (or, in the rarest of cases, students from other schools) can join this blog to appreciate creative writing developed by us students. I, Braden Beaudreau, the creator of this blog, will post my past, present, and future works on this website, and those who join and comment will get the same opportunities. May all of you live in happiness and peace, and never forget: being interesting is the only way to stand out from the masses.

Path

My walk is steady, yours seems to stumble
Upon this ambiguous, unknown terrain
No marks to lead, no path to follow
Not much to lose, not much to gain

The morning breeze is sweet; it cools
The wear-worn creases of travelers' feet
We walk together, simply because
The turns of our journeys just happened to meet

But the heat grows stronger, like a test
Of determination upon this desert quest
I need to sit, I want to rest
But can't stop myself from going on

The treasure's somewhere; glistening gold
And gems; but secrets here lay buried, too
My unspoken fear makes sense to me;
I need to find it and dig it all up before you.

I dont think you're unworthy of trust
I just tend to be picky when guarding my own
Given the choices, together or sure,
I prefer going my way and being alone.

  1. I like it, and I'm glad you mixed up the style a little. Definitely good to do and try different things.
    I think my favorite part of this piece is the parallelism, esp. in lines 3-4, where it is created by sentence structure and reinforced by thematic parallelism.
