Writing
prompt: Write a poem that presents a scene from an unusual point of view.
Perhaps you could write a poem that presents Sir Isaac Newton’s discovery from
the perspective of the apple. Or the shootout at the OK Corral from the
viewpoint of a passing vulture. Or maybe it could be something as everyday as a
rainstorm, as experienced by a raindrop.
The Tired Tennis Ball
Back-and-forth,
forth and back,
I’m on the court all day
Bum bum bum, whack whack! WHACK!
No rest, just play, play,
play
Back-and-forth,
forth and back,
This used to be so fun
Bum bum bum, whack whack! WHACK!
It’s hot
out in the sun…
Back-and-forth,
forth and back,
So many eyes on me,
Bum bum bum, whack whack! WHACK!
I’m TIRED, can’t you see?
