POEM STARTER

Write a poem about the heart, focusing on its physicality and actions.

Avoid the kind of metaphors and language which are normally associated with the heart's emotional connection.

the only girl in the world

your laugh is melodic your smile is perfection your heart is-

your heart is so big and your hugs are so warm and

there aren’t enough words in this world

to describe you,

but for you i will find them,

i will search forever and i will find the perfect

syllables

to write the green of your eyes

or maybe the hazel

or the dots and flecks of brown on a vast green canvas, like an ink pot was spilled and when the sunlight shines all i want to do

is stare in your eyes forever

your hands are big and safe and happy

and i want them to hold me, rock me closer

until i’m not sad

until you’re not sad

because we have each other

but you have her

you have her and i wish i had you

but i don’t i can’t

but oh god,

my heart feels like a waterdroplet in a rainstorm when i see you,

budum budum budum and i can’t breath

becasuse your so breathtakingly

stunning

and my friends, my friends, they see it too but they

don’t get that feeling, i don’t think,

not quite the way i do

they don’t know how happy you make me,

how high flying tumbling pinwheels through the grand blue sky i feel when i see you

when you look my way or laugh at something i whispered, hoping you would hear

the way you say my name

a love this great isn’t something

i think i could ever get over

so i will wait,

until your ready until your happy without her

and then i will make you see yourself the way i see you

i will make you feel like

the only girl in the world

becasue youre the only girl in the world

for me
