NEW BIRTH

THERE IS THIS GIRL WHO
CALLS ME DAD SHE STOLE MY HEART
ONE WARM SPRING MORNING

SHEOL

Write a poem in which the words or meaning of a familiar phrase gets upended.

"IF THERE'S A HELL BELOW WE ALL GONNA GO"




Where hell is below
Everybody will soon go
Beneath the cold earth

MATURITY

Write a poem that addresses the future


When leaf buds unfold
On the branch of apple trees
Flowers start to grow

OVERCAST DAY

Write a poem in which something big and something small come together


Hot summer noon sun
Hangs high in a firmament
Of blue wispy clouds
