POEM STARTER
Write a poem casually and nonchalantly reflecting on a hugely important event.
What kind of language could portray this tone even when the content is important?
Why Would I Care?
So, I guess something happened
Something occurred while I was nappin’
‘Cause it seems that half of us are gone
Though it can’t of been for long
The world might be on fire
I’m not quite sure what transpired
The optimist says this is only a reverie
The pessimist cries the greatest tragedy in centuries
One promises ephemeral panic and peace to be restored
The others screams of “Who’s next?!” and “Lock your doors!”
You’d think it be quieter; with half of us gone
But it seems the world can’t move on
So while you cry in despair
I’ll just sit in my chair.
