POEM STARTER
Write a poem that could be titled “In the Kitchen”.
What is the reason for the setting? What imagery might best be used?
In the Kitchen
In the kitchen where we met,
Holds a memory in my head.
You were cooking all alone,
Before I called you on the phone.
You didn’t know who I was,
Only that I called because…
I needed food in my system,
Something special, maybe wisdom.
You advised me to be hopeful,
That darkness wasn’t always mopeful.
I asked if we could have a meeting,
And you’d be pleased to have a greeting.
I saw your eyes and I just knew,
That the person there was you.
Now I’ve loved you three whole years,
Haven’t had to hold back tears.
For I feel content when you’re around,
Like I’ll never hit the ground.
Stay with me for this tradition,
Where I’ll meet you in the kitchen.
