POEM STARTER

Submitted by Maranda Quinn

Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are the seeds.

You can grow flowers, or you can grow weeds.

Write a poem that either begins or ends with this couplet.

Departure To Something Greater

Your life has just started,

the boat has departed

The dock left the sailors, the


Morning alarm is

No longer snoozed


The booze in the air

Says you have nothing to lose


Tie up your shoes,

Your laces are loose


Rope-swing to the river

Let go of the noose


The slimming shiver on

The tip

Of your lunge


The sliver of silver

The glint has begun


Your mind is a garden, your thoughts are the trees

The buzz of the bees, gathers round the leaves


As sweet as it can be, each step means you’ll leave

So remind yourself today

It can be flowers, or it can be leaves
