POEM STARTER
Write a poem about a minor inconvenience.
This may help you articulate nuanced emotions that are not outright exaggerated and over the top.
Writings
The balance between
good and bad
The fight between
caring and uncaring
A choice defining us
A moment in time
A grade
An action
All small in the scheme of things
But they mean so much
Be careful
Ever so careful
What you do on a
day to day
hour to hour
minute to minute
second to second
Everything adds up
Creating who you are
You look back and everything’s changed
Becau...
In the morning rush, what a sight to behold,
A broken shoelace, all tangled and old!
With each step I take, a mournful sound,
Hobbling along, feeling earthbound.
Oh, the irony, the humor so dry,
In this tiny mishap, a dramatic sigh.
But fear not, I'll march on with flair,
In this comedy of life, I'll dare to care.
For even in shoelaces' tiny schemes,
There's a tale of dreams and broken seams....
Sometimes I wonder what the point of existing is.
Why do we toil daily like slaves under the harsh scalding sun?
Wouldn’t we all be better off six feet under?
A dark place where the sun can’t reach us.
Where the perils of life can no longer torment us.
Perhaps if I were dead I’d be happier, more content with my nonexistence.
Perhaps then I wouldn’t have to worry about my husband leaving the toilet...
Sometimes in daily life, things get tough,
Not too crazy, not too rough.
Just small problems that come our way,
Let me tell you about one today.
A missing sock or a phone that's dropped,
These things can make our patience stop.
Not a big deal, just a little pain,
But they can drive us a bit insane.
A slow red light when we're in a hurry,
It might make us feel a little bit worry.
But it's not the...
The train is blaring its horn, angrily
But the sound only puts me at ease
It’s a familiar sound
Like a lullaby, ringing out
It tells me I’m safe and can sleep
But where are you now?
Nowhere I have found
And yet, I feel you’re not far
In the smallest of towns
I wish your voice sounded loud
as the train, so I could know where you are

It’s continuous now
Work
iPhone, laptop,
Headphones,
Car stereo
Desktop
On the train
In the park
In office
Home and away
That’s bad enough
Then there’s interoperability
That subtle thing
About how technology talks
To each other
Expected to work without
Subtle language, empathy, power
Just co-operate to get things done
And when it doesn’t quite work
It can bring a grown man to tears
Thinking about...
Wake up, they say. Nothing gold stays. But I no longer want to be the thunderstorm that rages; for their words leave me feeling cold, empty, and hectic…
Troubled times, with cosmic rays. Seems I found the space, where folks like to chew their brains. But these virtual persecutions no longer concern me. I’d rather be the fidlar on the roof; that the world just lets be. I’m exhausted and nauseated ...
