POEM STARTER

Awakening

Write a poem about an awakening - it could be literal or metaphorical.

Open

I opened my eyes,

In the early dawn light

When I opened my eyes,

I knew something wasn’t right.

Things were everywhere,

All our thoughts scattered

It’s as if the world,

Forgot what mattered.


I closed my eyes,

As it became night.

Behind my eyelids,

I could still see the sight.

Of a world gone mad,

Every being to themself

A struggling society,

Fighting for it’s health.


I opened my eyes,

And saw the truth,

and I took up a call

To the old, to the youth.

Open your eyes

And see what I see

The world can be saved

The world is a ‘we'
