POEM STARTER
Inspired by Maranda Quinn
Write a poem in any form, on any topic you like, which uses a single metaphor throughout.
Try to develop the metaphor as the poem progresses, and use it as a central theme throughout.
Bleed Out
Fantasy is fantasy
But a fantasy of mine
Seems to always turn awry
Veins turn to ice
The chill air is nice
The snow is like a blanket
Let me tell you a secret
I won’t make it out alive
Chemical spill from inside me
Nothing but trees to see
There’s something crawling right out of me
It’s called The Will To Live
Sparkling all in its glory
Snow covering miles of ground
This is the last sound
Bleed Out
