I Am
I am disappointed yet hopeful
I wonder what’s
around the corner
I hear clocks ticking
I see leaves changing colors
I want to grasp it all
I am disappointed yet hopeful
I wonder what’s
around the corner
I hear clocks ticking
I see leaves changing colors
I want to grasp it all
I am disappointed yet hopeful
I pretend to
be indifferent
I feel the days passing me by
I touch the sand
I
worry that I’m missing something
I cry over spilled milk
I am
disappointed yet hopeful
I understand that seasons change and doors close
I say this is an opportunity
I dream of my words turning
into gold.
I try to hold my head up and keep my pen down.
I hope that
this is my moment.
I am disappointed yet hopeful

4.) Fill in the blanks of this template and create your own I Am poem.
This poem was inspired by the news that my position at work will be terminated come the end of August. While I am being kept on as a per diem employee, losing my job was not something I anticipated.
I can't even imagine what it has to be like knowing that you job will be gone by the end of august.
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
It stinks mostly because I really thought I would be working for this company for a long time. Thanks for stopping by .
I love this! I actually did this as an assignment when I was in 10th grade. Mine was based on "I am believer of true love but broken hearted." I had just had my first real crush break up with me. I got an A. I can remember some of the lines of it. Wish I could find it in my parents' house but no such luck.
It would be so fun if you could find it!
Hi from MamaKat! "I dream of my words turning to gold," was awesome! Love the honesty here.
That's my favorite part too . Glad you liked it and thanks for stopping by .
Love this! So sorry about the work situation, but I think "disappointed yet hopeful" is a healthy place to be!
Glad you liked it. I'm trying to stay in a good place about it.
I am so not a poet but I appreciate your simplicity. I am such a big believer that opportunities exist if you are open to them. I also feel it's totally ok to be sad and disappointed. Feel it. It's good. It makes the good better.
Thanks Marie, I'm trying to be open to any opportunity and keep a positive perspective.
GREAT poem. Powerful. And such a good prompt this week.
Loved this prompt. Thank you!
