POEM STARTER

Inspired by Reagan Stanton

Write a poem about decay.

Normally associated with death and disease, decay is also vital in nature for the next generation of life. What perspective will you take?

soil.

falling apart

sinking into soil

made by man and others

it keeps eating my flesh

and i feel at peace


i've become art

mechanics and oil

earth and its brothers

become one in this mesh

and now there is ease

It was a little unclear but beautiful nonetheless, if possible could you explain what you were going for with this piece or writing technique you were trying:) ? But the way I interpreted it was how we are impacted by the people around us and how we’re all different but composed of everyone we meet, but I don’t think that I’m correct at all because I’m lost on some of it
