POEM STARTER

Heavy rain, cracked windows, and a forgotten song.

Use these descriptors as inspiration for a poem.

Smashed Guitar, Pieces Astray

Heavy rain, cracked windows

And a forgotten song.

A far cry from anything

I've known for so long.


Smashed guitar, pieces astray

And tears on my face

I never thought I'd be so lonely

In this kind of place.


The rainwater wets the floor

Puddle bigger than my tears

I don't care that the broken glass hurts

I care that I've witnessed my worst fears


I try to play my favourite tune

On the guitar, but it's been so long

Among the heavy rain, cracked windows

And a forgotten song.

I really appreciate the image of a broken guitar. You were able to give some very vivid imagery with the visceral pain of something shattered, in this instance both glass and guitar. Keep it up!

Thank you! I will definitely be posting more as we get new prompts!
