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...

Peace

Getting by without any help,

proved difficult.


I got a job at a hardware store a couple of towns away,

but they didn’t pay enough for me to afford rent.

I slept in my truck the first few months,

until I was finally able to find a place to rent.


It was a very old and crammed space,

but the rent was cheap,

and the neighbors friendly.


After a few months,

I had settled into my apartment.

I had made this place my own,

and finally felt at peace.


No one but me lives here,


no one.
