POEM STARTER
Write a 'golden shovel' using a line from an existing poem that you enjoy.
A golden shovel is a poetic form in which the last word of each of your lines is taken, in order, from a line of another poem. Look at some examples and then have a go!

“So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay”
When Innocence was so
Lost in the Garden of Eden
The sun of youth sank
Below the horizon of hope to
A sky draped in grief
A future so
Uncertain cannot promise dawn
Yet so it goes
Onward and upward and down
In search of something to
Give meaning to the day
And if it comes to nothing
The sun’s gold
Light can
Fade but let innocence stay
