FREE VERSE Poem: Watering the Cow, by Kalista Andreason

I turned off the key,
for there I could see.
Not the bright light,
but the dark night.
As far as i could see,
the stars twinkled happily.
I opened the spout,
the water began guzzling out. I slouched down and began to think.
But when i think,
it spreads a little too deep.
Like how come no one wants me around?
Nobody sees me,
not even in a crowd.
I take a breath,
while the cold, fresh air fills my lungs.
I cross my arms and stair,
cuss i felt free that no one was there.
Just the stars and I.
My face began to chill,
but my hoodie kept me from getting ill.
I thought again,
I got bikes,
i got cows,
but still no one keeps me around.
It’s happened before
and probably happen again.
But i keep trying
again and again.
The water begin to drissile,
which meant it was time,
to go home,
until tomorrow,
until next time
