POEM STARTER
Write an Epic following the life of any of your favourite characters.
An Epic poem typically tells a long, narrative story and often centers around heroic deeds and legendary adventures. It tends to focus on the actions of the character rather than their traits or emotions.
Hanging Tree
I thought I heard you laughing
I thought I heard you scream
That is then
This is now
I would never agree
Waited by the hanging tree
To see if you would show
I can’t be left to suffer
Or let you sink that low
Lay me out to dry
Leave me in the lie
I can’t hear you screaming
But I can see you die
What more I can handle
Is what it wouldn’t cost
To leave me out and bleed me dry
In the lions den
Wake me in the morning
When all that’s gone to rest
It was then
This is now
I would never dread
The motion I could handle
The notion I could lose
Lay me in the moment
Of what’s to choose
Between death
And dying
Laughing
And crying
