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?

Bridge

We’ll cross that bridge when it comes

And when it does, I take the river

Wet stones beneath my feet

I act suprised when I fall


It hurts to look back on what I have done

The mistakes made make me bitter

Instead of fighting I flee

I could have had it all


I want to forget my downfall

Because the parts that repeat

Force me to reconsider:

Have my efforts come undone?


If people never change, no one

Then what justifies an omiter?

Responsibility escapes,

And I really am a quitter
