POEM STARTER

Write a poem which uses the scenario of being a fly on the wall.

To be a fly on the wall is to witness something private. Think of a situation in which this eavesdropping would be interesting, and write a poem based on your thoughts.

Fly On The Wall

I’m the fly on the wall

Unnoticed

Just there to witness what’s going on

I don’t really have much of a say in what goes on

I’ll share something like a plan

But it’s an awful idea

We don’t use it

Welcome to my world

It’s always

“I need to tell Izzy something, I’ll tell you later.”

They never tell me later

We stopped keeping secrets

But it still feels suspicious

It felt flawless

For a little

Until I became a fly on the wall

Again

Just there

Going unnoticed

Until one day

I won’t be there anymore

I be swatted by a fly swatter

Gone

Forever
