engagement

Just to start us off on the right foot, let’s get something straight: I haven’t got engaged. To be honest, I don’t know where the inspiration for this poem came from and, since writing it, I have no idea where it went. I guess inspiration is just like that. I can’t watch a movie or documentary without having a writing idea pop into my head–or even just sit through a lesson, some days, without thinking up an entire novel. Inspiration is strange. But I hope you enjoy this poem!
