For today’s prompt, take the phrase “If I Were (blank),” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write the poem.
If I Were Three
I’d climb Mt. Katahdin
all the way up,
and when we reached top
I’d ask,
When do we start to climb?
For we hadn’t had to scrabble
on hands and knees
nor learned to use pitons and ropes.
Now my excitement is
trips to buy groceries
cookouts next door
occasional mild vacation.
My mind still eager and wild,
my body incompetent.
