POEM STARTER
Write an Epode based on any theme you like.
An Epode is a style of poetry where each verse is two lines which differ in meter and structure, but the second line is always shorter than the first.
The Desire To Escape
Lying deep within the cold concrete cities,
I sigh, I doze, I pray.
I dream of an enchanted forest filled with poets,
I paint, I read, I write.
The screaches of cars ignite the forest, fire spreads,
I work, I eat, I sleep.
The Calendar flips, time wrinkles weathered faces,
I blink, I step, I jump.
Return to the forest, it is rich and bright, it is eternal,
I am free
