POEM STARTER

Out of Reach

Write a poem about something that always seems just out of reach.

Nobody Knows

We gain temptations,

and curiosity—

when we see those walls

and gates.


The closer we get,

the more our minds tick.

It’s beyond the challenges

that might even blossom.


We gain more temptations

when it’s always prohibited.

And so we ask—

endless questions.


Maybe…

we’ll find freedom.

Maybe…

we’ll find safety.


But are the gates and walls

trying to protect us?

Or trying to hide us—

from the eyes of humanity?


Could it be better,

or worse?

We want to know.


So let us run free,

let our wings fly,

let our bodies sense

the calming breeze

of this adventurous spark.


We want to walk side by side,

holding our hands tightly,

like one human armor.


We might be happy here,

too happy that it gets tiring.


The gates and walls in front of us—

so crystal clear.

While the world behind us

is blurry and crumbling.


Nobody knows.
