POEM STARTER

Write a poem about where you would like to be in ten years time.

Speculative poetry is popular, and allows exploration of things that aren't yet real. You don't have to write from your own perspective; you could get into the mindset of a character.

Ten Years Time

In ten years time where will I be? Sat at home? Or on the sea? I wonder just how far I’ll go? As far as town? Or Mexico? Anxiety does keep me home, I do prefer to be alone, I don’t like going very far, Fear has really left a scar Home is where I like to stay, I really should just go one day, Something stops me, something holds, I make excuses- plans and colds Maybe I can work from home, Something I can do alone, Make some art or write a book, Lose some weight or learn to cook Ten long years, what will I do? Will I have a huge breakthrough? Will I see the world around? Or still be here, and still housebound? In ten years time I’d really like, To just go out and ride a bike, To make myself a whole new track, Be confident to not look back.
