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!
