POEM STARTER

Write a specular poem on heartbreak.

Specular poems are usually two verses long, with the second verse being the first verse repeated backwards to achieve a certain tone. The reversed verse must still make sense.

Spectacle

Broken trust, love of death.

Death of love, trust broken.


Maybe we can fix this,

might we really try.


Try?

Really?

We might.

This fix. (👈😜)

Can we maybe?


Maybe not. Maybe this is all we got.

Maybe this goes down in flames,

The spectacle just makes us famous.


Maybe I just won’t give up.

When we hit the ground,

I’ll pick you up - you’re all I’ve got.
