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.
Little Things
These little things mean nothing
They are just sayings
Aren’t they?
Are little things actually little?
Or are little things the size of the sun
Random words
Concentrated quotes
Only things to upset my stomach
Hurt my heart for short periods of time
But maybe they hurt more
Maybe they make my heart hurt for a while
Maybe they make me feel sick
Maybe it feels like I’m burning on fire
In pain
Fighting this
Alone
But maybe they are just little things
Stupid sayings
Right?
