POEM STARTER
Write a poem about a time that you forgot something.
It could be an important event, a mundane appointment, or a personal belonging. Whatever it is, try to tap into the emotions you feel when you realise you've forgotten something.
For A Moment, I Forgot
Just a moment,
Fleeting,
Yet holding on to time
It slipped my mind
The thought of you
Your existence
It seized to hold space
For a fleeting
Time consuming moment
I forgot
And you will never forget again
Never laugh
Never cry
Never smile
Never party
Again.
Never be alive
Feel life
Again.
How selfish
To forget
As if there will ever be a time
That pink skies do not make me think of you
A time when the word “hunny”
Does not enrage a feeling of melancholy
So bitter
For it is the word you shared for each other
It is the word that made her smile
When you left
You took her smile with you,
Still breathing,
Pieces of her
lying with you
Her world shattering
When yours ended
And i forgot…
For a fleeting,
Time consuming moment
You slipped my mind
