POEM STARTER

Heavy rain, cracked windows, and a forgotten song.

Use these descriptors as inspiration for a poem.

Rain Drowning Fire

Heavy rain pours down

A thundering choir

Why did you open the door

And let the rain drown our fire?


You can’t hear a beat

With the downpours masking applause

Our song is a long forgotten seat

At the end of a hall


Why did you crack our castles walls?

When we were tucked safely inside

Why did you let the cold wind in?

Did you not like the warm firelight?


Was I not enough for your hearts desperation?

Are you not satisfied with my entertainment?

Am I just a joker, a pawn to be messed with?

Why would you leave me, like an old garment you dressed with?


It’s cold outside

And you took the key from me

Left me all alone

Now no one shares our safe company


Our old haven lies with dust and cobwebs inside

Because you locked us both out, both you and I

I’m stuck without you, stuck in the rain

Why did you crack the windows, give into your pain?
