POEM STARTER
Compose a poem that starts with an idiom.
Idioms are common, sometimes metaphorical sayings such as ‘it’s raining cats and dogs’, and ‘love at first sight’. Which idiom will you use to set the theme for your poem?
Where The Stars Lie
Go the extra mile
Pick up the trash you see in the street on your walk
Hold the door open for the sweet old lady in a wheelchair
Pick up an extra shift to cover for your sick coworker
Make your significant other a decadent meal, but don’t leave out dessert and a bottle of good wine
Braid your patients hair after you give them a shower
Apologize for the things that weren’t your fault, but things that upset or hurt someone else
Be a shoulder to cry on for a stranger in need
Leave positive feedback about a product or service by leaving a kind yelp review
Doing the bare minimum or simply skating by will only get you so far in life
Above and beyond is where the stars lie, after all
