POEM STARTER

The Revelation

Write a poem with a structured rhyme scheme, using this as the title.

The Revelation

An eternal adoration for the maternal comforts

Lose yourself in the love of it

Feel it fester

Flee its pester


And the contract stipulates the things you can take

Too many lines on the paper

Suddenly it wounds

Claustrophobia entombs


And one day she speaks to you and you finally hear it

Truth burns the scars from the forceps

Born by force

Forced to make born


And one day it doesn’t fill you like it used to

When suddenly she’s a person too

The degree she nearly earned

The love she clearly yearns


And today it’s just as much as it always was

But you can’t hold it anymore

Her frail hand

Give mother back to land
