Flashback - A Fantastical Made-Up Poem

Written by Noah Solovey

Prologue:

I wrote this in my free time during class, and I wanted to write a poem. So I came up with a good topic- a flashback. That would make a vivid poem, right? I just started writing, not knowing what to write next, just letting my imagination take the way. I still don't understand why I wrote this and how I came up with the poem, but I think it is cool. I don't even know how my fingers typed it- it just kind of came out of my mind. Just thinking of something random.
