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...

Doors Unlocked

With each slam of the door

I hid

Knowing its a game where I have to be found

Yet already sealing my fate of loss


One day I decided to hide in a cabinet

Quietly this time

Its not fun to play games that last a second

You knew that and pretended to not know

Then eventually forgot about me

Meanwhile the doors of the cabinets were stuck


I could have screamed

But my commitment to the game was strong

Then I slept

When I woke up in total darkness

That’s when I fought to be broken free


Years will pass

Still the doors will never be slammed

Never be closed all the way

Lights will all be on

Cause being trapped makes you that way
