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.
I hate you.. I think.
I wish I never had to see your green eyes again,
or hear that melodic laugh.
I hate your soft skin, your tender touch;
The way you don't hate me back.
I hate how you cup my face
And silence me with a look.
I hate how you know my favorite songs
and my favorite book.
When you come so close to me,
I can't help but wonder,
Maybe I don't hate you as much as I thought.
After all, green is my favorite color.
