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, I 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.
