POEM STARTER
Write a Pantoum on any topic you like.
A pantoum is a poem where each stanza is 4 lines, and the second and fourth line of each stanza are repeated as the first and third lines of the next. As this creates a lot of repetition, try to pick a theme that would benefit from emphasis of certain lines.
The Endless Cycle
Isnāt lovely
All alone
Heart made of glass my mind of stone
Tear me to pieces skin and bone
All alone
Ripping myself apart at the seams I
Tear me to pieces skin and bone
Grinning as rubies spill from my flesh
Ripping myself apart at the seams
Caught in this cycle of self destruction
Grinning as rubies spill from my flesh
A small solace for the pain in my chest
Caught in this cycle of self destruction
Smashing every mirror every photo
A small solace for the pain in my chest
That kills me in the shower
Smashing every mirror every photo
All of the cruel reminders
That kill me in the shower
Making it hard to believe I'm worth the very air I breath
