POEM STARTER

Write a poem that begins with a focus on loss, and concludes with a focus on love.

Think about the sturctures and flows that you can use to change the focus from beginning to end.

Rose

Before the snow first fell,

There was a beautiful sight

I knew all too well.

A gorgeous rose with petals so bright,

Tough it couldn’t make it through

Even one cold winter night.


My beautiful, bright rose died.

Oh, how many tears I cried,

They had a cost…

The rose was forever lost,

Deep within winter’s first snow.

Now I know,

Nothing perfect can stay,

But I would someday

Find a way

Though the pain and strife

Of loss of life.


Love.

That’s what could pull me through,

I had my darling white dove.

Who?

Why, of course it’s you!


With you by my side,

I could toss

That pain of loss

Away from where my heart resides.


My love, my dove,

My darling, my life,

With you as my own,

I can push through all strife

From the loss of life.


Love is truly a magical thing,

Especially since mine is you,

My everything.
