POEM STARTER

Take the first line from a book and use it to begin a poem.

Try to choose a book at random and challenge yourself to write the poem around it, instead of planning to choose a book based on your poem idea.

Run For Life

Poetry

Horror

I am running.

I am running from the truth,

For I cannot bear it.

I am running for my country,

For I cannot save it.

I am running to my people,

Or at least trying to.

I can’t run, I can’t do anything.

For my world is collapsing,

And I cannot save it.

I am running from my tears,

For it will drown me.

I am running, I am running,

Cannot..

Stop.

Is there a way to recover from extinction?

Is there a way to recover?

For my legs are tired from running.

I doubt there is a way to recover,

So that is why I run.

And why my country must run for it’s life.

I wrote a poem about my current state on both of my countries being in potential danger. So cheers.
