POEM STARTER

'Handmade'

Write a poem that could have this as its title.

Creator

I thought about writing a letter

But something just didn’t feel right -

When I phished it out of my mind

And attempted to put it on paper..


So I figured, it wasn’t my true own thing

And I must be good doing something other

Than working with letters and concepts

And all.. I thought.. maybe running a poll?


It shouldn’t be difficult, ain’t it?

Just drop ‘em in numbers and see -

What they say. How tough could it be?

But a couple of polls through -


I noticed it didn’t go as well as I may

Have pictured it in my mind. The truth is

There has to be something else, right?

Something I’m good at - should be easy to find.


Shall I be a doctor? I can’t stand the blood.

Shall I be a pilot? Brave at a hight I was not.

A teacher? Kids are quite frightening.

A cook? Who am I kidding - look at my fridge.


It’s one of those bridges - you got to

But know not how to cross it from here.

All of these obstacles scattered across -

Handpicked and selected. Made


By my own hands.


Oh, so it’s been starting at me all along.

Obstacle mounting would be the right thing.

Anyone hiring for that at all, do you know?


Should I be applying, my friends?..
