POEM STARTER
Submitted by Maranda Quinn
They say forgiveness is a virtue, but I’d rather keep my anger.
Use this line as inspiration for a poem.
Inheritance
I inherited my mothers kindness, determination and grace.
I inherited my grandmothers wild, outgoing spirit and wonder of the world.
I inherited my sisters generosity and forgiveness.
I inherited my grandfathers nose and strong work ethic.
I inherited my best friends confidence, creativity and music taste.
I even inherited my work colleagues communication.
I inherited my flatmates way of washing dishes.
I am a mosaic of everyone who came before and after me.
Everyone I have ever loved lives deeply inside me through my actions, my soul and my mind.
My father lives deeply within in me.
My fathers anger.
Begging to come out.
A short fuse a short temper
A short man
I inherited my fathers height and his red hot temper.
The first man to break my heart.
Lives deeply inside of me
I hope he never breaks free.
