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.

The Field

I

was a crab

and you

were an aphorism

for a broken heart.

and I hate metaphors.


I

am a crab

alone in this field

as the moon glimmers along

my spiked shell.

but you’d moved on.
