POEM STARTER
Write a specular poem on heartbreak.
Specular poems are usually two verses long, with the second verse being the first verse repeated backwards to achieve a certain tone. The reversed verse must still make sense.
We Couldn’t Know
I hurt you
But I couldn’t know
The scars my past would leave.
But you couldn’t know
What healing could be.
You hurt me.
You hurt me.
What healing could be?
But you couldn’t know
The scars, my past would leave!
But I couldn’t know
I hurt you.

I don’t write much poetry so I’m always open to honest feedback so I can improve!
You really got the assignment. I read your poem over and over enjoying how the mood deepen.
Thank you!
