POEM STARTER
Inspired by Maranda Quinn
Write a poem in any form, on any topic you like, which uses a single metaphor throughout.
Try to develop the metaphor as the poem progresses, and use it as a central theme throughout.
Candles
There’s a candle in front of me that is burning bright
But the stick is melting away in just a few seconds
Loving someone at a distance hurts since they don’t know
The feelings that surround a heart burning like stars
It’s making me melt as the feelings are suffocating
I need air to breathe, I need air to let a fire burn
How can I survive a night without oxygen?
But this candle in front of me is staying strong
