POEM STARTER
‘Earthquakes no longer feel so foreign to my body.’
Write a poem that begins with this line. Is it literal or metaphorical?
Nervous First Day
First day of classes,
And my body is freaking out.
My heart beats hastily,
And my breathes are trembling and short.
I don’t know anyone,
And no one knows me.
I can feel a bundle of an agonizing storm
Brewing inside with nervous lightning strikes.
Earthquakes no longer feel so foreign,
For my body shakes with anxiety.
Will I be okay?
I know I will be, but one cannot predict the future.
