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.
