POEM STARTER
Inspired by Raven J
Write a poem about any of the five main senses: touch, sight, smell, taste, or hearing.
Gone her way
I see the way you look at her
Her beautiful blue eyes
But what about mine?
My eyes of brown
Like coffee and cinnamon.
Like the dirt food is planted in.
I hear the way you talk to her
With that tone in your voice
Thats how you used to talk to me
But now to me
Your voice is raspy
I smell the way you lie to my face
The stench of your lying soul
Or is it because you were with her all day
And that smell is her lingering perfume
Mixed with your musky colone
I feel the way you touch me
Its not the same anymore
You don’t hug me quite as long
Or compliment my song
Your touch feels lighter
More safe than sorry
But I don’t think you even worry
I taste her on your lips
Her strawberry lipgloss
And her minty toothpaste
But what does it matter?
Because if you loved me
If you really loved me
You wouldn’t have gone her way.
