POEM STARTER
Human souls are part of a pattern too large to see in each individual. Together, we form something greater than we can imagine.
Write a poem based on this idea. It can be loosely related, but should focus on the theme of individuals vs. togetherness.
eternal spite
we could learn a lesson from the stars…
lights streaking in twilight, dancing
delicately across the celestial hall,
shaping tales told long ago
instructing the direction of growth,
all through their glory.
each alone may drown out the rest,
few luminous enough to entice devotion,
collectively sketching eternity
on an unending page.
mortals illuminate the earthly cosmos,
competing to shine the brightest
wasting a limited clock to an
unbeatable solo combat, in spite.
constellations which bask down,
reflecting mockery upon our
juvenile conflicts, butting heads
for what? it all ends the same…
