POEM STARTER

Write a poem using multiple rhetorical questions, where the narrator is questioning their own judgement or viewpoint.

You could use the questions to make the reader think, or to show how doubtful the narrator is of their own stance.

Siran’s Remorse

As I look over what was my land, I fall apart as if I were sand. All of this could have been avoided, if I had just paid attention to the warnings. As my vision goes black, I remember the past, Of when I was happy. Hydrus, by my side, my lovely husband, far from his time to die, By my side. “ Dear, just calm down- “ , He would say before I hit the ground. If he were here, he would know what to do- He would help me.. but is that true? I caused his death- his pain and annihilation, All I must cause him is pure frustration.. And yet why else would he choose me, if not for love? What have I done-? To lose someone so true- it is not a simple feat to do, And yet I did, and as he took his final breath, My fellow king had said: “ Love, don’t you cry. For one day, you too will die. And we can be together once more “ , And as the rain poured, I could see, this was all done, by what I had done before
