POEM STARTER
Write a poem about the heart, focusing on its physicality and actions.
Avoid the kind of metaphors and language which are normally associated with the heart's emotional connection.
The Beat
The thumping of myself, inside a certain human body beats
Sometimes my arrhythmia skips, depending what he eats
Yummy fried chicken on the menu, always makes me work
Eating too much of that isn’t good, so now he is a real jerk
Now comes the pricy smokes, and that very cold icy beer
Once his nightly party is done, the sports is on we cheer
The next morning, I don’t feel so good, off to the doc we go
It’s seems after all the EKG’s and scans, my path has no flow
So after all the papers and forms, are done under the knife we are
Hopefully if I survive this, my human will rest and watch life from afar
