✧・゚:* *:・゚✧ story: originally, I wrote this poem for school about a month ago. then, i realized that it meant much more to me than i thought it did, so i started revising it. eventually, i reached the final draft of the poem, which is this: Past-Tense -- I notice when I read a book That the narrator tends to look At characters set in modern day And refer to them in a past-tense way. That makes me start to ponder When I am here no longer Who will tell my story In a past-tense sort of way? I realize that I can’t decide How my life will be summarized, And who will imagine life through my eyes But in a past-tense way? Or if no one will remember me And my memories will be kept in secrecy And I’ll be mentioned infrequently In a past-tense sort of way. ✧・゚:* *:・゚✧ tags: #poem #poetry #writing #poemwriting #creativewriting #originalpoem #originalstory #pasttense #pasttensepoem #pasttensevqmpire
