POEM STARTER

In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take.

Write a poem ending with this line.

One Room

One room,

One chair,

One light,

And everyone I’ve ever known


Searching the crowd

Hello’s and how do you do’s in the distance

But eyes set on one thing

One person

One reason


Stoped in my tracks

A hand on my shoulder

One on my arm

Slowly being pulled away from this existence


THERE

I found him

For the first time

in many years


We lock eyes

Like a key in a door

One million words

Yet not a single one spoken

One million what ifs

Yet only one possibility


Still that pulling

More hands

Encapsulating my body

Everything becoming blurry

But my will keeps me here

All just for one person


Here he comes

The one person

That when in a room of a million and one

He is the one I always look for


I can’t hold on much longer

But oh how I would give anything

Just for

One minute

One coffee

One moment


And as this reality fades

So do my memories

And I hear one sentence of advice

All before its gone


In the end,

We only regret the chances we didn’t take


so say goodbye to

One room

One chair

One moment

One memory
