I’m no Shakespeare, but I wrote a short inspirational poem using the prompt, “write a poem starting with the first phrase you hear when you shuffle your playlist.” This poem begins with a phrase taken from “Runaround Sue” by Dion and the Belmonts and is also inspired by a conversation I had the day of it’s creation. A Very Deep Poem Here’s my story, It’s sad but true, I hoped and dreamed, To learn kung fu. But my father scoffed, And handed me a bowl, He said “listen here boy,” “Noodles heal the soul.” I could not accept this hopeless lie, I climbed the steps and began to fly, The arena wall, I did hurdle, Saw in me a dragon, did the turtle. The countless trials never seemed to end, Not a single effort did he commend, I haven’t a clue of what to do, But I’m sick and tired of Master Shifu.
