POEM STARTER
You are a doctor who has to deliver some news to a patient - good or bad. Write a poem about your feelings on the matter before it happens.
Ma’am you’re gonna die today
Pacing back and forth
Don’t know what to say
“Ma’am you’re gonna die today.”
Is that to formal
To casual you say?
Maybe I’ll try a different way
Pacing back and forth
swaying side to side
What to I say
Do I play it nice
It feels like walking on ice
Looking out the window
Clouds rolling in
I have to tell her soon
I can’t handle the anxiety
its eating up inside of me
What do I tell her
Do I really have to tell her?
I guess I do
I’ll do it on two
Still don’t know what to say
Play it in my mind
but nothing seems quite right
I guess I’ll just have to say
_Ma’am you’re gonna die today_
