POEM STARTER

Write a poem about the heart, focusing on its physicality and actions.

Avoid the kind of metaphors and language which are normally associated with the heart's emotional connection.

With Softener Please

The grip of weight

Lingers

Marbeling in the center

Of our galaxy


Felt tension

Twitched fingers

Twigged slinky fingers

Still figure to cling


Oxygen

Breathe

Promises life

Promised death


All hail the humans waste removal

Machine

Made to spend eternity endlessly

Washing

In every moment taking moments

To make them anew

Tell me what the human

Washing machine

Couldn’t do?
