POEM STARTER
Write a specular poem on heartbreak.
Specular poems are usually two verses long, with the second verse being the first verse repeated backwards to achieve a certain tone. The reversed verse must still make sense.
Questions For The Heart
Why did you leave me?
Now I’m broken,
A shattered heart,
Alone is how I stand
Without you.
Why did you hurt me?
Now I’m suffering,
An empty heart,
No longer beating,
Dead on the inside.
Where did I go wrong?
You blamed it all on me,
So my “heart” ached,
Broken am I.
When did our love die?
You made me cry,
The abuse was too much to handle,
I wanted to die.
