POEM STARTER

Submitted by Mel Davies

Write a fictional story or poem that revolves around the question: are we truly unique, or are we mosaics of every person we’ve ever known?

The Mosiac

I am a mimic

Of color

And glass shard


I am a broken mirror

Reclecting every one I’ve ever loved


I am a soldier

Using every battle tactic I’ve been thought

To survive the world that’s been crafted for me


I am a painting

I have all their favorite colors

Yet not one shade of mine


I am a field

Of a thousand different flowers

Not one do I get to pick


I am a farmer

Weeds grow between the seeds of crops

That I did not plant


I am a thousand colored scarf

Woven with needles

That I have not held


I’m a mosiac of everything I’ve ever seen

And everything they want me to be

But no part of my mosiac do I call mine
