POEM STARTER

Write a poem exploring expectations and reality.

Dreams don’t always come true, but sometimes the alternative is preferable. Whatever angle you take, examine these two perspectives.

Reality

The lettuce was green The bacon was crispy The bun was fluffy It had melting Swiss cheese The commercial was enticing Aired right at lunch time That burger was more delicious Than this sandwich of mine The bag handed through the window The fries smelled filled my car But the burger in my hand Was different than the one that I saw This one was greasy, Flat, and floppy The ad looked so sexy This looked so sloppy How could the ad taste better Than reality? Truth in advertising? That’s an abnormality
