POEM STARTER

Awakening

Write a poem about an awakening - it could be literal or metaphorical.

Locked

I sat up, startled

My mind ablaze

With a dream

Just on the tip of my tongue


But it slipped away

Forgotten

In a moment

Something with fireflies and lanterns


I lay paralyzed

Captive to my own subconscious

Trying to slip the surly bonds

Of my own addled discomfort


What if I forget to breathe?
