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
