POEM STARTER
Out of Reach
Write a poem about something that always seems just out of reach.
What Doesn’t Get Me Out Of Bed
I told myself I’d work on it today
Why am I always to disobey
My mind that is
That prefers to act like a kid
Always sitting around in a slump
Someone needs to tell her not to be so lump
It’s been days or months, I think
Her motivation is starting to shrink
I’ve managed to begin the task
But the rest is just too much to ask
Maybe tomorrow, if I’m free
I’ll get to work and pay my fee
I’ve become so familiar with this bed
That it’s somehow confused my head
Making me feel as if this is my home
Comfortable with just eating scones
Over and over I’ll reject the thought
But notice that fact, I need this shot
And take it with willing arms
Ignoring all the false alarms
