POEM STARTER
'Backwards'
Use this single word to inspire a poem.
Regressing
Never forward
Not even a step
I can’t
I can’t
do this anymore
you are moving
but not advancing
No,
you’re going backwards
which is worse than
not moving at all
Never forward
I can’t
I don’t know what to do
I feel helpless
I can’t help you

(Sorry I haven’t been active, and probably won’t be for a while. My sister is in the hospital. She’s stable, but we don’t know what’s wrong, so it’s been a lot of visiting her and then coming home and doing homework and eventually remembering to eat. 😅)
