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

Poetry

Isn’t 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
