POEM STARTER

Write a poem about saying goodbye to someone who you are excited to see go.

How might you use poetic form to highlight the emotions of this usually sad scenario?

I’m not ready

Goodbyes are hard

Even when you know you’ll talk tomorrow

There’s always a little part of me that’s not sure

Not sure that we’ll speak again

Not sure if you’ll respond

Not sure you’ll be there


So what am I supposed to do when I know i’ll never see you again


When I have a time limit for my goodbye


When your fading


And there’s so much- too much- to say


How am I supposed to fit everything i should have said into a sentence


I’m not ready

Not ready to loose you

And not ready to say the words that give you permission to go


If i don’t say anything will you stay?

Or will you slip by

Wondering why i didn’t care enough

To say goodbye
