Adam

Hello, I'm Adam Brundage. I enjoy writing in almost all forms, specifically poetry and short stories. I have a strong disinterest in writing plays, screenplays, and longer fictions stories. My poetry tends to focus on abstract things, emotions and such. In my fiction, I use little to no dialogue, and I like to try to tell the stories and develop the characters solely through actions and thoughts.

Somewhere I’ve Seen

Somewhere I know I have seen Some trees or grass or the like It must have been, a brook or stream In the backdrop of frozen deadly night An oasis of right and perfect truth Must exist beyond the grey A shimmer of hope in the heart of youth The shadows performing ballet I assume that I’ve been to a place more bright More lush, complacent, and still Where the shadows cannot go to war with the light Where rays from the sun warm the chill Somewhere I’ve seen, somewhere it’s been That nature has not been corrupt But as my memory serves, I don’t know where to begin To journey back to the places dark won’t disrupt. Somewhere I know I have seen Some smiles, or laughs or the like It must have been, a place so serene But I haven’t in all of my life.
