POEM STARTER

Write a poem that sounds like it was composed whilst the poet was multi-tasking.

What devices could you use to show interupted thoughts, or movement between spaces or tasks?

Bulshit

Bulshit this world is bulshit

How can you tell me people

Get bullied for being themselves

How can you tell me people

Have to fake who they are just to look cool

Or popular

I remember when popularity wasn’t a thing

And nobody had competition for who was better for there boyfriend or girlfriend

This world is bulshit

Because how are you telling me that people who are LGBTQ+ aren’t accepted in ...

Couch Sitting

Dinner is done.

Dishes aren’t cleared

Guess I am the one

Lost in the wind,

Is where I want to be,

With a blissful state of mi-

Oh, god, she just messaged me-


Uhm… I mean-

Floating through the lands, from dawn to dusk,

Feeling content and everything in between..

Wait… I dunno if I wrote that text right…


How am I supposed to respond to her without looking dumb?-

Oh- right, I gotta work on this poem… anyways,

The breeze is where freedom is originated...

Multitasking

Stubbed my toe

Washing dishes

Feed the fishes

I need a shower

In about an hour

Mop the floor

But alas I can not pout

Or I will have to shout

Because I am multitasking again...

Winner Of This Game

I play a game on my phone

As I try to write this poem

Whoop! My turn again

Aw man! The game is over


I think of what to write over here

Oh, wait! Two player game

I think I’m trying too hard here

But don’t we all wish to write for fame?


Okay, now I’m ahead of my opponent

So back to writing this

I’m terrible with multitasking

But will I ever stop? I wish


Okay, now it’s my turn again

Time to ...

Distractions ļæ¼

Lying in bed all alone, late at night,

Wishing you were still here, so I could hold you tight.

Scruffy, get down! Stop licking me!

I’m trying to write this poem, can’t you see?


I turn back to my paper with a furrowed brow,


Where was I? Oh yeah, I remember now.

Thinking about the day you left me all alone,

Crying, wondering if you’ll ever come back home.


Without you, skies are gray, and the ...

Orange Juice

Shoot I spilled my Orange Juice

GAH! Now it’s on my laces

Guess they’re have to stay loose

I’ll grab a piece of toast

Now the post is covered in juice

As well as my hand

And the post fell into the sand

I think I’ll start over and go back to bed

There’s no way I can mess up banana bread...

You Keep Talking

You keep talking and talking

But I can’t do all these functions

My heart tells me no

God, how embarrassing too

Fuck these dishes are insane

Oh I want to paint

Something like a near death experience

She called again,

I need to listen to my friends

But you keep talking and talking

Can’t get everything done

I’ll pop these energy combusted

Pills that turn off my attachments , feeling the none

Now ...

Multitasking Love

I'm thinking about your eyes, so deep and oh so brown,

But wait, a text just dinged, it's Katherine in the town.

She's asking ā€˜bout that movie’, the one we talked about,

I'll just tell her ā€˜later,’ my love poem's in a doubt.


The way you smile at me, it makes my heart take flight,

Oh, Mom's calling for dinner, ā€œAre you coming, alright?ā€

But I'm in the middle of this verse, expressing love so sweet...
