Prompt: Write a poem based on something you heard a stranger say.
All those whispers in the hall
It makes me feel like I’m about to fall
Thinking about what they are talking about
And without a doubt
I heard…
You see him, they say
I feel like their prey
Don’t listen I hear
There I see my peer
Taking me away from my fear
He tells me, you hear?
And that’s when I listened
And heard absolutely nothing
