POEM STARTER

Write a specular poem on heartbreak.

Specular poems are usually two verses long, with the second verse being the first verse repeated backwards to achieve a certain tone. The reversed verse must still make sense.

Secret Admirer

Romance

I love you

You don’t know it but

I love your smile

The way you say hello

I admire from afar

For I know you will never love me

And I will never tell you

I have sharp edges
