POEM STARTER
Use the 'snowball technique' to write a poem, where the first line is one word long, the second line has two words, and so on.
Remember you do not have to 'build' on the first word - each line should use different words.
The Golden Lining
I
Was watching
The golden sunset.
The light pressed forward,
And pressed away from me.
And that moment I was sad.
I dreaded the darkness and its embrace
I could not hold the light to me
But as I watched it slip through my fingers
I remembered a wonderful, beautiful thing that turned me brave.
As the sun abandoned me and left me in my sorrow,
It rose over the horizon, offering comfort for another lonely, hurting girl.
I’ll take on the night for her, although I may never meet her.
That girl will give up the sun for me, and I for her, forever.
