For today’s prompt, take the phrase “Little (blank),” replace the blank with a word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then write your poem. Possible titles include: “Little Guy,” “Little Richard,” “Little Mermaid,” “Little Italy,” and “Little Words That Pack a Big Punch.” I think if you think about it for a little bit, you’ll find a big (or little) poem to write. — Robert Lee Brewer, Writer’s Digest
Little known
Little did I know
how far my life would be
from what I had imagined
for myself
and my family
it doesn’t seem foolish
to dream of an ordinary future
to expect the world to be
as it always has been
yet every little thing
is different
I
am different
in a thousand ways
Little did I know
