POEM STARTER

Write a poem about contentedness that makes use of anaphora between the end of one line and start of the next.

Anaphora is the repeating of a word or phrase for a specific impact. It can be used at the beginning of all lines, or at the end of one and beginning of the next.

Contentment at the Sea

Sun shining down on my face,

Facing the wide open sea.

See my feet disappear beneath the waves,

Waves that wash the worry away.


Away from long hours,

Hours spent in front of a screen.

Screens that dry out my eyes,

Eyes that now look across the sky.


Sky turns to red as I breathe,

Breathe in the salt and smile.

Smile as I think of today,

Today I am as content as can be.
