STAR POems: I Used to Be But Now

By the First Act Recovery Group which meets every Saturday at Portsmouth Central Library.

I used to be a twig but now I’m a tree
I used to be a room but now I’m a house
I used to be a cup but now I’m a bucket
I used to be lost but now I’m found
I used to be a beer mug but now I’m a chalice
I used to be a rock but now I’m a wind
I used to be dead but now I’m an archangel
I used to be a tadpole but now I’m an eagle
I used to be a pumpkin but now I’m a prince
I used to be a teardrop but now I’m a clown
I used to be a pip but now I’m an apple
I used to be a wild rover but I’m not anymore
I used to be a page but now I’m a book
I used to be a star but now I’m light
