POEM STARTER

Human souls are part of a pattern too large to see in each individual. Together, we form something greater than we can imagine.

Write a poem based on this idea. It can be loosely related, but should focus on the theme of individuals vs. togetherness.

Together

Poetry

When the world is falling down, We’ll cry together,. And when the silence crushes us to the ground, We’ll sing together. And if an asteroid comes hurtling down, We’ll die together. And of the music starts to play, We’ll dance together. And if you try to stomp us out, We’ll fight together. But down here from the ground. The idea appears to be sound. That we aren’t together.

Ooh this is a really great concept to go with this prompt! I liked each line, but once I’d read the final analogy I felt the meaning of the rest of the poem even more poignantly! Very clever 😃

You could potentially have broken up each couplet into their own stanzas, or at least added a period at the end of each. Each couplet by itself holds a powerful image, and this could have been emphasised better if you’d have given them their own space (so when you get to the end you’re ready for a powerful statement, instead of going back and reading it all again like I did!)

Great read 😀
