POEM STARTER
‘The absence is still keenly felt, but now the gaps can be refilled.’
Write a blank verse poem that closes with this line. Blank verse poetry doesn't rhyme, but normally uses strict structure to build a melody through rhythm.
hollow
absence is something familiar
it no longer brings surprise,
to be abandoned
the absence of love hurts,
but it is understood
when it was destroyed,
i felt the absence,
four years later,
i still do
what would have happened if we had stayed
if he hadn’t been so sick
would i still understand the absence?
but i will not now
the absence is keenly felt, but now, the gaps can be filled
