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...
August 5th (Dami’s version)
There you crouch
Neck stiff in arch
Mouth gaping open
But there’s only a whimper
Before you is altar
It swallows, you flush
And into it you sacrifice
Your poisoned guts
Standing guard: our guardians,
Akimbo is unamused
You are their black sheep
Dead eyes undesirable
You did it for attention
You’re acting the fool
So sayeth the guardians
I sayeth too
Peer into the future
Question crystal ball
If stumble leads to fall
Funeral is empty
Damned be August 5th
I scribble with stylus
Ink runs red
I am “TheRedInk”
Guardians did not agree
Guardians nay mourneth thee
