POEM STARTER

Awakening

Write a poem about an awakening - it could be literal or metaphorical.

A Soft Cage

She was dreaming

and time kept moving on


Pleasant scenes

as the baby screamed


Weightlessness was kind

unlike the shuttering house


Nothing occurred at all

yet everything continued going wrong


She did not move

but others came instead


It took a pop and step to be taken from bed

The night had turned to day at least what the people say


Watery eyes stared at no one

Incessant chatter droned on

The moving van was too loud


An empty crib

An empty bed

Lonely home

No one to greet at the end
