POEM STARTER
'Backwards'
Use this single word to inspire a poem.
Ready? Player One…?
Ready player one
Is all about moving backwards.
Really really fast. Fast as we can.
Tripping over the past
Digging up our faults out of that cosmic trash can.
Player one. Who is that.
It can’t always be you.
I’ve learned that,
Because there’s those out there
Who scheme
And plot
And raid
And terrorize
And cheat
And kill.
What about that
Oasis?
What if it’s not out there?
Better worse, what if it is?
Expectations
A canon ball tied to my feet.
Watching the sky
As the island sinks.
Enthralling Euphoria
The kind that only comes before mass
Destruction.
Tragedy.
Ready?
Player
One…?
