Poetry, Day Ten: Future

Could it be our last day of Intro to Poetry already?! Let’s keep our spirits up by focusing on whatever it is that’s coming next. Whether it’s about tomorrow, next October, or the year 2345, let today’s poem be inspired by your vision of the future. (Fears, hopes, and plans are equally acceptable, of course. As are robots!)

“It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves” William Shakespeare

Road to Nowhere 

The future
Now uncertain
When removed is
The safety curtain

No time
For bloopers
Nor reruns
Used is
The last dime
For a trip
To the sun

First
Summer
Then fall
No bummer
Just a ball
Future
Unfolds

We are
On a road
To nowhere
Travelling fast
Forgetting
The past
It would not
Have lasted
Anyway

Future
Unknown
Or so
We were told
Never mind
Just be kind
Your place
You will find

Past, present
All in imperfect
Time still
Well spent

Now
Heads up
Finish
Your cup
Legs, arms
Tucked inside
Let the slide
Your way
Down guide
