POEM STARTER
Inspired by Maranda Quinn
Write a poem centred around the theme of destruction.
Really Feeling the Love /s
Well… I’m really feeling the love
My mom & brother come home from a 5-day baseball tournament a couple states over
First dinner back (same day they come back)
Walmart package brought into the kitchen
My brother: Is it a Switch 2?
Dad: Why would it be a Switch 2? (Something else)
Some more convo
Dad takes a Switch 2 out of the box
Brothers break out screaming & hollering & run to thank mom
I sit, frozen & numb, in my chair
Something breaks in me
That’s gotta be really, really expensive
& somehow I’m still not allowed to get two pairs, three pairs of overalls. Which in total, is less than a hundred dollars.
& they get a SWITCH 2??!!!!!!
There might not be favoritism in this house
But there is certainly least-favoritism.
Especially when the boss of the house
Is the one who likes me the least
So much for the last 5 days of peace.
