POEM STARTER
Write a poem that focuses on the theme of imagination.
You could think about the role of imagination itself, or just get really creative and write your own imaginative poem.
The Kingdom of the Mind
Within the quiet of my mind,
a door unlatched, a world designed.
No walls confine, no chains restrain—
here thought runs wild, unbound, arcane.
A desert shifts to fields of gold,
where whispered myths and dreams unfold.
The sky ignites in hues unknown,
as constellations call me home.
A river bends where none should flow,
its waters hum with tales they know.
A mountain breathes, its pulse alive,
with echoes lost yet kept inside.
The clocks dissolve, no time remains,
just boundless lands and endless plains.
A city built from words unsaid,
where statues speak and books have bled.
And in this space where wonders grow,
where reason bows and fancies glow,
I shape the world to fit my hands—
a sovereign of imagined lands.
