POEM STARTER

Out of Reach

Write a poem about something that always seems just out of reach.

Dragging Myself to Bed

Aching feet from 9 to 10, headaches like 24/7


I long for my bed so much I wish for it at 11:11


Even as I grow closer, down my commute,


I feel so sick and tired of this constant pursuit.


Waves of relief wash over me in a gentle flow.


The tides ease me down. I know it won’t last though.


Alone with my thoughts, more than I can convey,


some nights I don’t want to wake up the next day.
