POEM STARTER

Write an Epode based on any theme you like.

An Epode is a style of poetry where each verse is two lines which differ in meter and structure, but the second line is always shorter than the first.

Saturday Morning

Sun touched party goers sober up with coffee.

Work slithering back between their shoulder blades.

Warm coffee coax chaotic thoughts into submission

And non coffee drinkers submit to temptation.

Last night’s heavy doors become lighter

As heavy legs drag themselves through.

Resurrected melodies, thought lost, bounce back into their heads.

Retired dancers carry their spinning minds to breakfast.
