POEM STARTER
‘The absence is still keenly felt, but now the gaps can be refilled.’
Write a blank verse poem that closes with this line. Blank verse poetry doesn't rhyme, but normally uses strict structure to build a melody through rhythm.
Without
A large hole in my heart,
Unable to be filled,
For now…
But the absence is
Still felt.
I feel a burning pain
In my chest
Where my soul
Used to be,
Though it is gone now,
Long gone.
The pain
Still remains
Day in,
Day out.
Without a heart,
Without a soul,
That’s just how
I have been living.
It may be bad that
The absence is still keenly felt,
But now
The gaps can be refilled.
