Ok, I'm 'fessing up!!! I'm such a slacker!!!
That for my playwriting module assignment, which was to compose a poem, I simply condensed and converted the 1st entry of this blog into this:
La Turbulent Twenties
What is life,
Pray tell?
From halcyonic days of youth,
Thrust to adulthood by MANkind
Society’s knaves and fools.
Into this ocean of life,
Heaving.
Crashing.
Uncertainties.
Woes.
Death.
Heartbreak.
Like Peter Pan cheated into growing up
Brilliant childhood left behind
Shadows full of bitter regret
But all’s lost?
Not.
It’s the ocean,
Not the abyss
Abominable lows
Are accompanied by astounding highs
Sparks of life
That churns through waves of time.
And beyond that tough navigation
Lies an emerald isle
Of hope, redemption,
And a life that transcends time.
La turbulent twenties.
Embrace it.
Wave when fate blows.
