POEM STARTER
Write a poem about the first time you did something.
New experiences are often thought-provoking. Try to stay away from obvious first times and go for something unusual.
Meconium
The thickness,
The colour,
Books don’t compare to the real thing.
The force needed.
On this innocent little child.
Not wanting to cause pain,
But remove the irritant.
Can I bend her legs?
Will she break?
This porcelain doll,
That I barely know,
But have been waiting an eternity to meet.
Your sister won’t get the same treatment,
Experience providing confidence.
One day you’ll both be doing this yourself.
And the doll collection will grow.
I just hope I’m there to meet them too.
