POEM STARTER
Inspired by Hollow Oaks
Can You Hear Me?
Write a poem that could have this as the title.
Shadows of Humanity
The summer sun glints through the windows
the smell of yellow fills my lungs
we sit under the shadowed patterns on green
inbetween the blue and the white.
We stare at the light yellow
you lied about.
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
I’ve been here before
the smell of children fills my lungs
The light yellow is blinding.
So pale in this light
it’s white.
An infitity room of words.
You rules are fake words
scribbled onto dead corpses.
written in blood
the blood on your hands
your words are knifes
slicing through our skin.
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
You act like you can’t
but your ears are stronger than mine
and you know it.
There’s no reasoning with an intransigent
myopic shadow of a person.
