POEM STARTER
Write a free verse poem from the voice of someone who feels resentful.
Free verse poetry does not have a structured rhyme scheme, can have lines of irregular length, and does not have to keep to a regular meter.
Tiger
I don’t want it there
But it’s been growing
Comfort and Safety try to hide it
Love attempts to smother it with a pillow
But it’s getting big, turning feral,
out of Love’s control
There’s things that I want to do
But I can’t do
For you
Which isn’t entirely true
But it’s growing to feel that way
How long before it’s grown big enough to tear things apart?
Am I being selfish or am I in a cage?
How long can you be selfless before losing your self?
