POEM STARTER
Write a poem with the beginning being a quote from someone important in your life.
This doesn’t have to be someone you personally know, so feel free to pick a famous figure that had an impact on you.
Distance
Sometimes, you have to treat people with a long handled spoon
But no one ever said how long
What is “long” compared to “short”
An inch ? A foot? A kilometer?
How do we measure the distance of attachment from within ourselves
She can fuck and still not give a damn
But he can’t take the rejection unless he blocks you on
Social media - which is the metric of attachment all at the tips of your finger.
To measure the distance between your piece of mind and the peace of your heart
Is the soft white underbelly -
The down and the dirty
When treating people with a long handled spoon
