Hello!
I have been taking writing inspiration and workshop ideas from across the UK!
Here is a poem I wrote recently, which was inspired by ‘The Key,’ written by Rose Auslander.
This was written in 15 minutes free flow, give it a go with this poem or any other! Taking the first verse is often a good way to start, or repeating the first line of each verse.
Inspired by ‘The Key’
Without a word I go
from door to door
from room to room
Each space expanding before me
Human breath
Absent
Even my own
When I remember to breathe
The taste is stale
Without a word I go
from door to door
from room to room
Reaching my arms out
I touch, nothing
And it’s incredible to think you took this much space
Finally I reach the end
Where the thin white curtains
Flap gently in the sea breeze
Now I can taste the salt
Still silent
The room reaches its arms out to me
For the first time
I am held
