Intro to Writing Poetry Refection


Reflection Poem

 

I’m looking for that perfect image to write about, 

 

that, “real toad in the garden.” 

 

It’s got to be something that others relate to, 

 

that catches their attention, with a new sort of invention.

 

Makes them take a moment and say “Huh...” 

 

It has to have some wrinkles and a streak of truth to boot. 

 

It has to set well and age with grace after its words have taken root. 

 

It should possess a rhyme or two that wraps around their mind. 

 

It's elusive I can certainly tell you, a one of a million find. 

 

                                                                                         But then, all at once I see it because I kept up on my toes. 

 

                                                                                         That perfect scene to write about, at the end of my nose.
