POEM STARTER

Out of Reach

Write a poem about something that always seems just out of reach.

Unspoken Rules

I wasn't told to to stay, but I knew I had to

There were no clear signs of restriction, but I knew this room lacked room

Though nobody ruled it, we didn't break this unspoken taboo


The elders spoke of soaring through a vast sea

Never truly questioning what it means to be free

I was born here, that question never truly bothered me

There are no walls stopping us, as far as I can see


You expect me to believe we're tapped in an invisible barrier? That's a mind trick

After hearing all these folktales, that's what you might think

I'm happy with my treasure chest atop the island
