POEM STARTER
Awakening
Write a poem about an awakening - it could be literal or metaphorical.
Ceiling
Staring at the ceiling, out of touch
I think I smoked just a little too much
My head is spinning, the ceiling too
Feels like winning…but for who?!
Staring at the ceiling, in a time loop
Eew, my mouth so dry…what’s that goop?
I am pretty sure I am wide awake
It’s been at least 2 hours…give or take
Staring at the ceiling, the spinning stopped
Took a bit longer than I hoped
Sitting up and mind is foggy
I am feeling just a little groggy
Standing now, I think
My face in the mirror gave me a wink
On the edge of the craze…the brink
Wake up now!
Time for a drink!
