Think about someone important in your life.
Someone who made an impact on you.
Write a list or a few paragraphs of events in this person’s life.
It could be milestones or simple everyday things.
Turn what you just wrote into a poem with these suggestions:
Make this a numbered poem. Each stanza gets a number.
Each stanza is four lines.
Each stanza represents a chunk of time in the person’s life, perhaps by decade.
1.
Love child
Tossed around
Whose arms held her?
Who comforted her?
2.
Showing off
Late for work
Three times
Not a charm
