POEM STARTER

Write a poem in which every line begins with the first letter of your name.

While this isn’t a conventional poetic form, it is interesting to play around with constraints. See how many words connect to your name!

Left Over

Long ago in a distant place

Layers of space and time before now,

Lived an old woman

Legs shortened by her years,

Longing for her companion


Lonely, in want of her love

Layers of age burying the soul

Lost eyes that are tired of it all

Looking for him

Loving him, still


Later on, after we are gone,

Lengths and depths explored,

Leftovers from our time, only memories

Lovely, isn’t it?
