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!
Dr Havisham
I still hate him; he was all take, I was all give,
As he found himself, I drifted apart from me,
I was desperate. I thought I needed a
Male.
So I dissected a corpse,
And realised what had I been waiting for?
I was desperate. I needed a....
...I don’t know...something to achieve in the long run, and it was long,
I became a doctor. It was long, slow,
But I did it. And celebrated with a trip to where I was meant to go on my honeymoon.
