Windows

 

  • Write about what you are seeing outside your window.   -  Prompt



I see this prompt and think, the gall!
What about the ones who do not have windows?
The ones stuck on desks or cubicles!?

Then I realize we too have windows,
infinitely better windows at that,
We can look at anything on them.

Trees, people, birds, animals; whichever ones we want
Has it all, we can also listen to whatever we want
you hear the birds chirping, but also pots clanging

I can also read something,
watch something,
write something,
learn something,

You shout to your neighbhour through your window?
Well with my window I can talk to anyone in the whole wide world who is willing
Even if nobody wants to there are plenty of other things to do.

With my window I can do whatever I want;
 Why I would ever leave.

  1. What an interesting way to interpret the prompt! Though I guess the question is, are you describing what you see outside your window, or through your window?

  3. "You shout to your neighbour through your window?" This is the beginning of a whole new poem.
