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!
The Art Of Letting Go
Sometimes I wonder why the
basis of our friendships don’t begin in art.
What we create is a beautiful picture of
what’s in the heart, losing
any cover of what isn’t.
Why is it so hard
to reveal our souls to another, to
leave ourselves whole in the hands of the
Master.
(Golden shovel from “One Art” by Elizabeth Bishop)
