POEM STARTER
Write a poem that shows how a single moment in a person’s childhood still affects them to this day.
It does not have to be a something negative...
Ma
We had somehow come home early, from the neighbors house
We yelled for Ma through the halls, as home is quiet as a mouse
Our small feet running from room to room, and climbing the stairs
My small young feet, followed as we all wanted lunch of fresh pears
We stopped at the large, locked door where our Mom went to sleep
Sis found the key, near the desk in the hall and behind secrets keep
Mom was sleeping on her bed, with a red dress with rose button
We tried to wake her up, but she wouldn’t get up sleep glutton
We ran down the dark wooden staircase, and got the people next door
They called the police, and flew her to the hospital with lines on the floor
