POEM STARTER

Write a 'golden shovel' using a line from an existing poem that you enjoy.

A golden shovel is a poetic form in which the last word of each of your lines is taken, in order, from a line of another poem. Look at some examples and then have a go!

Remember

It’s crazy

How much I remember

But it’s all there

I remember your lips

The shape of them

How soft they always were

I remember your smile

Cocky, with a smirk at the end

I remember how you smelled

Intoxicating, overwhelming

I remember how you made my heart race

Pounding out of my chest, skipping beats

Whenever you would look at me

I remember your eyes

Blue and beautiful

So easy to get lost in

I didn’t forget a thing

Somehow

My memory preserved you perfectly
