POEM STARTER

Write a poem about a birthday.

This doesn't have to be about your own birthday. What themes could you explore through writing about birthdays?

Years

I had a long life

It could be for others a short life

My wrinkles are only like expressions

My face does not cause the same impression


I had a short life

Others would call it a long life

I heard a young man who got a mansion

I heard a young man who got in prison


I have a short life

I pick up the lines

I eat up my time


They say you’re growing

You’re a teen with your headphones and no thinking

They say you’re growing


I have a long life

I see girls get drunk talking wide

I see girls get first their drivers license

I see girls get out of college


I have a short life

Everybody’s doing they want in short time

If I could be everybody I would be out of time

I hate I’ll be everybody in short time


It is my birthday

I put a candle on the cake

However, nothing changes
