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.

Carrier

Blood is not the real goal.

Oxygen to organs is why it pumps.

The blood just carries the O-2

To the destination where it dumps

Life giving nutrients and grabs

Carbon dioxide to bring back.

The heart is a carrier system

And brings your body things it lacks.

Nothing special. Nothing cute.

Pumping blood every day

Awake or asleep, it doesn’t care

This is just your heart’s way.
