POEM STARTER

A photo booth camera captures the moment when a girl confesses something to her friend.

In a poem or short story, describe the image and let the readers infer the nature of the confession.

Platonic Soulmates pt2

I think its pretty obvious

Where this prompt is going

I mean seriously, you know me better than anyone,

Where would my mind be wandering?

So I’m the girl

And you’re the friend

And I know I said we’re platonic soulmates

But what if I want more than that?

What if our 6pm calls are not enough?

What if sitting across from you is not enough?

What if our stupid inside jokes are not enough?

What if I don’t just want part of you, I want the whole thing

Platonic, romantic, and whatevers inbetween

I don’t believe in soulmates,

But if you were a girl I’d call you my queen

And I don’t fall easily

And I don’t usually write love poems

(Not any this long at least)

But I can’t waste another year pretending I don’t feel what I feel

Pretending you don’t make me giddy

And happy

And safe

And everything I used to think I’d never be

And this is embarrassing

It really, truly is

This peom has no rhyme, reason, or rhythm to it

It har no plan or backstory or anything

But I think I just randomly realised

I’m madly in love with my platonic soulmate





To ~O, who I’ll never have the courage to say this to
