POEM STARTER
Inspired by Reagan Stanton
Write a poem about decay.
Normally associated with death and disease, decay is also vital in nature for the next generation of life. What perspective will you take?
Betrayed And Decayed
In the hollows of a heart once flush and bright,
Lies a withered husk, devoid of light.
Darkness, Where a fierce heart once beat,
Betrayal’s bitter frost marksa fatal defeat.
Pulse slowed to a murmur, the beats now fray,
Each thump a reminder of love's decay.
Trust, like autumn leaves, crumbles to dust,
Promises once whispered, now lost to rust.
The heart, a relic of a flame snuffed out,
Shrinks into the shadows, wrapped in its doubt.
With every echo of its former cries,
A piece falls away, and slowly dies.
Betrayed and abandoned, left to erode,
A tale of a heart on its final road.
