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
