Poetry Superhighway April 2023 Poems

who is the name of the person on the badge? PSH

who is the name of the person on the badge?

Do we ever really know
Who is the name
Of the person on the badge

Who are they
The people behind the badge

The people we work with
All day long

Do they know
Who we are?

Or are we just
Strangers passing through
The world?


Write a poem using the above prompt.
When you go to work or the shops you often engage with people whom you might not know. We might know them as just the person in the store who does their job. (wearing a badge perhaps a name/ can I help etc.) It could be you, however. Do you wear a badge that you identify with? Write something about it. No more than 100 words. Enjoy.
If you write a poem from this prompt, post it as a comment underneath the prompt in the poetry super highway Facebook group.
