Hey guys! I’m currently taking a university course called ‘Sharpened Visions: A Poetry Workshop’ on Coursera, and here is one of my assignments. The assignment was to create a title of a poem structured in the form of ‘The [concrete noun] of [abstract noun]’ and then write a poem based on that title. Hope you enjoy!
Drifting
amidst a billion other drifters,
in a sea splotched with little
one-man islands,
almost yet never touching.Treading
water in an effort to stay afloat
amongst the strewn debris
of lost friends and broken hearts.Sinking
when the burdens pile up,
and all you need
is a hand to pull you out,
but none appears.Alone
without a swimming float.
Don’t forget to like, share, subscribe, and comment on what you thought of this poem, tips on how I could improve, or even a fun little title in the format described above of your own. I would totally recommend checking out the course as well. Thanks for reading! ♥
