POEM STARTER

Write a poem about a form of energy.

You may interpret ‘energy’ however you want, whether scientifically, magically, or metaphorically.

Energy

Energy

Something I don’t have

Ever

At all


Magically?

Never.

Scientifically?

Definitely not.

Metaphorically?

In my dreams, maybe.



I’m tired

Always tired

No matter how much sleep


This isn’t depression.

Right?

I don’t think it is


Well I’m not tired all the time

Not with Valerania most of the time

We fuel each other

Get loud

And wild


But without them

I’m a bit low on energy

I’m out of it


No one could ever guess though

I’m always tired

Yet

My parents

My mom

Is always telling me to

Calm down

Shut up

Stop being wild

To just stop



I feel tired

But I don’t act like it

I dont want people to worry


No, wait

I don’t want Valerania

To worry

That its

Not other people

Mostly her


My parents say we’re dating

We’re not

We’re close

‘Closer then most girlfriends’ she says

We definitely don’t date

We just found someone

Who finally understands

I understand her

She understands me


We use our energy

To be with eachother

So afterwards

We’re both out of energy

Both of us

Being tired

And out of energy
