The Bag's Dream
The black and green bag sat in the back of a cupboard and dreamed
what if?
It dreamed that it was an airplane soaring through the sky, a
green and black whirlwind
But it knows it’s just a bag
It dreamed it was a train traveling across the land a blur of
colours and sound
But it knows it’s just a bag
It dreams of when it was new beaming on the shelf, shiny as gold
But it knows it’s just a bag
It wonders what will happen to it in future
But it knows it’s just a bag
It wonders why it had to be a bag not an airplane or bird or
even a spoon
But it knows it’s just a bag
It questions what will happen in the future will it ever be
used again
And then that moment comes.

ReplyDeleteDear Louis,
ReplyDeleteAmazing poem!
Love your repeat phrase!
But, on "It wonders why it had to be a bag not a airplane," you have a spelling mistake because you wrote a airplane. the correct way to say this would be an airplane.
Again, amazing poem!
Dear Louis,
ReplyDeleteI love the rhythm of the poem. The refrain makes the reader think about their motivation in life. I think the theme of this poem is about believing in yourself. I wonder if you were writing about all the choices people have in their lives. Am I correct? If not it's OK because some poems reach out to different people in different ways. What do you think? do you think that a poem can be interpreted anyway you like or does a reader have to get the authors meaning? I look forward to hearing from you. Mrs Hoegen
