Louder than a Bomb

This writing can be abstract and creative. Or concrete and sound. This poem can be about whatever you want. Maybe you can think of a theme from throughout your life, some core truth that you’ve discovered, or some hard-won wisdom that you have to share. Explain your thought or message through lines of poetry. Here’s my example:

When one rhyme starts

Another one falls

Repeating the start 

One follows along

Where is the beginning

When the middle gets blurred

Now that I’m here I can’t see there

There was so clear but now I’m not sure

Waiting for the end I thought there’d be more

How much time do I need to spend here waiting

Every second passes like a clock in shady maple avenue

Ready for fall

It’s finally here we’ve awaited this call

To tell us the way

It can’t be uncovered

Until it is time

The decision is given

What I once knew

Is now a depiction

Of what I once saw

A prophets vision

Clear to read

Unclear to live out

When I’m tired and broken

Hope can get through

Now that I’m not focused on the blurry days now

I remember the future is calling to me

A hope so secure I don’t need to struggle now

But the struggle now is how the future is sure

Every day I wait, enjoying the now

Now enjoyment waits

Ready to bow

And welcome me home

a welcome so sweet

what I’ve always been waiting for

but I will forget once more

until I finally hear that sound

no noise will be around

new direction inspires my heart

and everyday struggle to find a restart

the hope breaks through and burdens fade away

ever since that day where I remembered to fly
