POEM STARTER

'Backwards'

Use this single word to inspire a poem.

Spiral

Like a spiral staircase

Drawn by the hand of Escher


Life lived in the mind

Stale memories grow fresher


A relived past

We try to change forever


Mental simulations

Hindsight


The irony of spiralling rumination

While trying to get our minds right


Ending up as stagehands

While dreaming of the limelight


Half heartedly chasing it

And finally facing it


Nothing will come of us

And so it ever was


History only has space for the few

We are the many


Convinced otherwise

Lies!


Goodbyes

Gone


But

Definitely

Forgotten
