Erasure
Erasure
Write a paragraph that briefly recounts a story, describes the scene outside your window, or gives directions from your house to the shops. Erase words from this paragraph to create a poem. I chose the idea of directions, from my house to one of my favourite local places.
Inside Out
The back door beckons you
Down the steps to the gate
To the end of the lane
Along the forked path through the woods
To the road, the layby, the gate,
The bench.
You stop,
Release the pent up breath,
Look outwards at the open view
And smile.
You have reached your destination.
