POEM STARTER

Cleansing

Write a poem inspired by this theme.

I will cleanse this soul of you

Throw away that sweater

Throw away that letter

Throw away those rotting flowers

Throw away these sheets while you're at it

I will cleanse this bedroom of you


Take your kisses

and your words, too

Take your fingers out of each the groove in my brain

Take your preying eyes off me as well

I will cleanse this body and mind you


Remove these memories

Remove any lingering sentiments in your language

Remove all that pain caused by you

Go ahead and remove yourself from my life, too

I will cleanse this soul of you
