POEM STARTER
"“What did you do?”
Write a poem that incorporates this question three times.
Choose any theme you’d like, as long as you use repetition to create an interesting effect.
Remember
What did you do when I dropped the soup?
Don’t you remember? You helped me clean?
Red, sticky, tomato soup - floor covered.
It was in my hair, in my shoes too.
What did you do when I crashed the car?
Don’t you remember? You got me out?
Red, sticky, bloody hands. You pulled me out.
Pulled me out the burning car yourself.
What did you do when I saw you last?
You forgot, didn’t you? All of it?
My name, my face, all of the memories.
What did I do when I saw you last?
I helped you, for the first time, afraid.
I helped you remember it all
Have you forgotten it so quickly?
