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.

Never Thought

i never thought

to love

you


and i never

thought

to lie


but of course

a change

of plans


has put your

hand

in mine


i love you like

the moon

and sun


yet i will

still

lie


about my love

for you

my dear


for your hand

will not

be in mine
