POEM STARTER
Out of Reach
Write a poem about something that always seems just out of reach.
The Sunlit Beach
Sunlight dancing on the scene,
Birds soaking up the sun.
A place this beautiful shouldn’t hold fear,
But fear runs from no one.
It wells in my heart,
Makes it beat faster
In my boat of wood
I know the feeling ok won’t last.
And sure enough, it is gone
That terror in me
Thrill resplaces it
And I’m finally free!
My soul soars, and freash air meets my lungs
But just like the fear
This peaece?
It will disapear.
What happens when
That peace is gone?
But the memory
Still holds strong
The aching feeling
That screams for the beach and boat
Can’t be silenced
So the worry floats
Anything can be used
To get that same feeling
Drugs or pain
But they can't even bother competing
Against feeling of thrill
That feeling of freedom...
It will never have that same chill
On that beautiful sunlit beach
The place that I crave
Is just out of reach
