POEM STARTER

Write a poem that begins with a focus on loss, and concludes with a focus on love.

Think about the sturctures and flows that you can use to change the focus from beginning to end.

Grief

When you first let grief out you have to let it have full reign And it /will/ try all the doors Look in all the nooks and crannies Unearth everything It takes a long long time but it will eventually settle down It’ll find a room it likes where the sun shines in in the afternoon And there’s a small ficus by the window It’ll nap there Sometimes it’ll get up stretch and move around But for it to find the perfect room you have to let it out And let it explore No matter how painful it is Because once it’s stopped trying doors you know generally what room it’s in And you can continue cleaning the house or what have you more easily It’ll become a part of you, just a part not the whole thing And you’ll be free to try your own doors as you please
