POEM STARTER
Human souls are part of a pattern too large to see in each individual. Together, we form something greater than we can imagine.
Write a poem based on this idea. It can be loosely related, but should focus on the theme of individuals vs. togetherness.

The individual
Alone, scared, scattered
By ourselves, we don’t achieve much
Except if defeat was all that mattered
Perhaps something great is to come
To those who have and try
And maybe they’re the small part
Who don’t leave with a sigh
Perhaps those people learned,
Thought themselves from their mistakes
And realized that together
Lower are the stakes
Perhaps as a group
Ideas are more valuab...
I drove very fast—They drove very fast too
As we met each other
there was no sound
The house I built
The acres I bought
possession was suddenly something I am not
I stood across from them
Within…without…
Tomorrow, yesterday, now…never?
No. Always.
Everywhere. Always.
I love you as you love I—as I am you and you are I.
What’s more than to begin again?
Rest my sweet soul.
Rest alongside ...
Humanity has taken centuries to form,
A dynasty that heaven couldn’t shake,
Yet so easily broken.
So flawed in its own righteousness,
Together we created our own destruction.
War, violence, poverty, and oppression.
Why is it that when we stand alone these problems cease to be problems.
Is it because when we think for ourselves and not of the whims of a king or presidency we can see the flaws of ou...
Everyone has their potentials,
They fight for what they love,
believing “I am going to be the best!”
To be hopeful along the journey of life,
Up to mountain top, down to valley deep,
Positive, whatever happens.
Wisdom of all humans,
Together forming an impossible universe.
One individual can do anything,
But we can do everything, togetherness.
We hope the world,
Peace and wonderful forever
With a...
Astronomers study the cosmos, psychologists study the mind. Are they really so dissimilar?
We look to stars for light, for guidance.
We’ve written maps by them for millennia.
We look for groups of them, constellations to guide our way.
One or two appearing when things are cloudy feels like hope…a clear sky full of them leaves us speechless.
Did you know that they can be different colors?

When I am all by myself, all alone
I just do not think that I can do much
My loneliness is like a lost statue in stone
I feel useless and have no purpose as such
But when I was with you, when I was around you
I suddenly felt different in a strange, nice way
I felt odd, bizarre, peculiar, and freshly anew
Instead of feeling inadequate and gray
When I was alone, I felt weak and unheard
I felt like...
When’s the last time you called?
To say hello, I’m okay
To tell a story, I’m listening
To make time, I’m free to talk
To invite someone, I’m here for you
To hear your voice, I’m at peace
Now and forever
Your phone calls mean a lot
It’s how our togetherness resonate
Beyond distance, I feel you
So will you pick up my call?...
