STORY STARTER
Write a short excerpt from the memoir of a fictious famous person.
To, A Young Poet
To, a young poet.
I dig a cave within me
Poking at my blood and vessels
My pressure points and joints
I tear beyond recovery thinking it’s best for me
To only look in the mirror at destruction
I write from within me.
From the deepest part of me.
To give you a chance and ask.
Do you have any critique?
Is this good enough?
Critique me
Critique me
Critique me
Rip me open
Eat everything I am
And tell me I’m not enough
That I didn’t do good enough
That I don’t have to right style
That I don’t have depth
That I’m not good for the naked eye
To give you that, will be a death of a young poet.
