POEM STARTER

Inspired by Robin Marlowe

Write a poem that contains a volta before the final line.

A volta is a twist, normally at the end of a sonnet. Rather than a plot twist, this is normally a change of ideas, an inversion of the main theme, or a change of heart about an opinion.

My Love

Oh my Love,

How you have changed,

You are as graceful as a dove,

But oh how I feel so estranged.


It was hard to love you,

But that is not your fault, dear,

You were like a wonderful view,

No matter how queer.


I wish I could have loved you forever,

We could have been so much,

But you were too clever,

I could not bear your touch.


And I saw with sorrow and I was thrilled,

When I had you killed.
