The exercise:

Write a four line poem about: back where it all began.

  1. Don't you have to be a project manager to be back where it all began? Or was there a job before that one? :)

    Back where it all began
    Time travel induces time-rage:
    People travel back to another age,
    Where, they fancy, "it all began".
    They're disappointed, to a man.

  2. Greg - pretty sure it all began with newspaper delivery. This was intended more as 'back where my time with the town began', but I'm quite sure you knew that and are just being nitpicky :P

    I like the idea of time rage being like road rage. I feel like that idea could be explored further, actually.

    Anyway. Really like this. I'd say especially the final line but I appreciate all the lines pretty much equally here.

  3. Even now the smile in his eyes
    Though crinkled around the edges like old paper
    Remind me of treehouses in late spring
    Before he was more than “cooties”
