Uh...Er....Poetry?

This is a poem I wrote for my creative writing class.
I hesitate to put anything on this blog from my creative writing because I don't want my blog to turn into some deep depressing heavy emotional thing. I try to keep it light and heavy, but I want to know what people think.

Xylophone Tones

I would like to go somewhere over the rainbow
where bursts of petals sing me on my way,
and constant sunshine is in each day.

I would like to go somewhere over the rainbow
to find sweet smiles, warm from-the-oven kisses,
and not a single man who don’t love his misses.

I would like to go somewhere over the rainbow
where sticks and stones break no bones
and words are spoken in soft xylophone tones.

I would like to go somewhere over the rainbow
where lies my rest from the sarcastic tones
of the pitiful part of me that feels alone.

I would like to go somewhere over the rainbow
where red is not blood and green is not envy
but white is the simple and ultimate purity.

I would like to go somewhere over the rainbow
if there is such a place that is further then my mind
I beg and plead, if only this place I could find.

Laura you are So talented! I love your poem! You should put more up ... I have always wished I could be a poet but the closest I could get was saying "I'm a poet and I didn't even know it." Pretty pitiful. Love u!
