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.

Hearts don’t break they beat

Today I had a heart attack

In the back of your SUV

No one was there to save me

No one could even see


Today I had a heart attack

So bad I couldn’t breathe

I could feel my veins contracting

My arteries squashed up like peas


Today I had a heat attack

Because mine is so fragile

Just a little pain

And my ribs start to rattle


Today I had a heart attack

And now my heart doesn’t beat

No one was there to save me

No one could even see
