Just some instant poems I came up with during an exercise in lit. People will say an object and an adjective, you get less than one minute to write a poem. Here are a few.
The grey streetlight
Casting fear across the street
Children hide away out of sight
The warmth that once descended,
now long gone
The golden lunchbox
A golden box, full of what?
Treasure, you would think...
But no just lunch.
A stringy lamp
Pretending to be something more
It is luminous
But when the power goes out,
it is just an old lamp.
Purple elephant sheets
Purple elephant sheets?
He had purple elephant sheets still at age twenty
and now I wonder, Why I ever broke up with him.
