POEM STARTER
Inspired by Reagan Stanton
Write a poem about decay.
Normally associated with death and disease, decay is also vital in nature for the next generation of life. What perspective will you take?
Rotten Peach
An example is when your sweet, tart, juicy peach begins to rot
You could take another bite but good it would be not
Another example of decay is that faint lingering smell at an open casket funeral
And if you ever lost someone you loved you wouldn’t find that last line humoral
Decay is when a once white collar, kid friendly neighborhood becomes overrun with gangs and robberies
This is when you come to realize that life is a commodity
