POEM STARTER
Write a poem about saying goodbye to someone who you are excited to see go.
How might you use poetic form to highlight the emotions of this usually sad scenario?
GOODbye
If we had said this goodbye just a few months before,
I know that my heart would have forever been sore
My eyelashes would be dampened with tears
And the permanent pain in my head would have no cure
But she is not the same girl I would have said goodbye to a few months ago
It’s like the love she had for me was just to borrow
She said she loved me but was it all a lie?
Was her life a crime and her relationship with me an alibi?
So I can’t help but smile as her car drives away
Because now I know she was a predator disguised as a sweet girl and I was her prey
