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.

The Book of Liars

My heart

Otherwise known

As the book of liars

Why may you ask

Do I call my heart by this name

It’s only because

Of the solitude and pain

Caused every time

Someone lies about something

Sure I forgive

And sure I do give

But apologies are meaningless

If my heart takes it in

I’ve got 200 names

Or more

Written in

This sorrowful journal

I keep locked within
