POEM STARTER

Whispers on the Wind

Write a poem or short story that could have this as the title.

My Sister Sasha

The deep of my stomach

Burns again when I swallow,

What else am I to do

But drag myself, the wind to follow


My sickness, I realise

In a moment of bliss,

It’s her I know that I hate

And you I remember that I miss


I’m waiting on you everyday

Listening eagerly to hear

Your jagged voice catching on the breeze,

Passing faintly by my ear


Oh Sasha, i’m begging you, please

Let a signal flitter through the air,

Before I begin to scratch at my skin,

Or clutch desperately at my hair


I need your guidance,

A somewhat gentle hand

Talk me through the steps

Of something I’d not planned


Im stuck to one place,

And you know why, right?

Because you seem to have lost your way,

Haven’t come back,

And I don’t think I have the might


A knock would sound on my door

Every couple of days,

Never you, or someone I knew,

But I hoped for it, always


Hopefully, a breath will carry

You’ll be free to listen

One lazy afternoon,

Your caress will sweeten


Until then, I’m waiting on you everyday

Letting my wish linger,

And I’ll ask another passing man,

Have you seen my sister?
