POEM STARTER

Submitted by Benjamin Linus

Create a poem around the theme of sonder.

Sonder is the realisation that everyone is living their own complex lives even if you aren’t aware of them.

There Is A Man Sleeping In My Son’s Bed

There is a man sleeping in my son’s bed


Dark hairy legs hanging off the bed


Where’s the crib?



There is a man sleeping in my son’s bed


Sharp jawline and morning stubble


Where’s the toy razor and bubble bath?



There is a man sleeping in my son’s bed


Muscled arms crossed over his head


Where’s the baby fat?



There is a man sleeping in my son’s bed


“Good Morning, mom,” he says, his voice squeaks with puberty


Where did the time go?
