POEM STARTER
Submitted by Anni D
“Falling feels like flying until the moment that you land.”
Compose a poem that uses this quote as the central theme.
Take-off
My first kiss as your wife, take-off for life
Our first home, and our trip to Rome
It all started so high.
We moved to LA, for your role that paid
You made friends, and I did the shopping
The descent began.
Late nights at your desk, I slept restless
Mornings alone, Easter at home
Seatbacks upright.
A baby in the Fall, to fix our misfalls
Less love, and definitely less sleep
Grab your oxygen mask.
You take her to soccer, I’ll do ballet,
We’ll talk, maybe in passing.
Prepare for crash landing.
