An Unnamed Poem

By Douglas Groothuis, PhD


This unnamed poem was written by me on April 17, 1982, on an IBM Selectric typewriter. During this time, I was doing campus ministry at The McKenzie Study Center in Eugene, Oregon. It is unpublished and never submitted for publication. So, it appears here for the first time. It was mostly lost for decades until our recent move to Michigan when it appeared when I was combing through endless mounds of papers, articles, and files. I used to write more poetry when I was younger, for what it’s worth. Perhaps you will find some inspiration to love in this poem. I have made no corrections or tried to rewrite any of it.

What a delightful surprise to find this long-lost poem, Dr. Groothuis! It's fascinating how the password game of life can lead us to uncover hidden treasures from our past. Your words might inspire others to revisit their own creative endeavors.

Used the inverter thinking I was clever… and flipped a blank into a live shell. That instant regret only happens in Buckshot Roulette.

The power of an unnamed poem lies in its openness to interpretation. Like poetry, platforms such as Block Blast invite personal meaning-making — their free online games become interactive narratives where each player writes their own story through play, proving that some experiences transcend labels.
