POEM STARTER

"She dropped her dress, and her inhibitions, at the door."

This is an example of a syllepsis, where the meaning of a verb (here 'dropped') is both physical and metaphorical. Write a poem that includes a syllepsis (do not use the example).

Syllepsis

I started walking

I kicked up the dirt and my confidence

With each step it spurt

Into the air and onto my clothes

I started running towards me again
