2D life
Tablet threatens
To touch your nose.
Blind
To dewdrops on the rose.
Ears plugged,
Phone pinging.
Deaf
To magpie’s dawn singing.
2D monsters swim
Before your eyes.
Miss
Lightning crack stormy skies.
Hit like. 800 friends you
Do not know.
Forget
How conversations flow.
Eat with family,
Head bent.
Never
Ask how their day went.
Feeling lost and blue,
Screen friends
Can’t
Hug you.
So clever Leigh. Well done. I’m struggling with the ‘found’ poem – hopefully inspiration will come from somewhere.

It is very strange exercise. I kept looking at my book spines and kept coming back to “What’s happening to my body? ” But the rest of the books don’t give very satisfactory answers. In the end I decided to pick words at set intervals from a book I have on tea. Then rearrange them. That way at least some words should be to do with flavour.
