POEM STARTER
Write a poem about a birthday.
This doesn't have to be about your own birthday. What themes could you explore through writing about birthdays?
Birthday Note
Death comes to grab us
Sometimes unexpectedly
Or we call death ourselves
when broken and lonely
And other times we know,
when death is coming
So it’s another birthday for you
You’re excited to grow old
What have you done?
You’re growing
No adventure has been stamped upon your soul
You’re blinded by the norms of society—
like most
I don’t want you to die,
With an unlived life.
Anyway enjoy your eighteenth birthday sis,
hope life treats you kindly
From,
Stella
Dear Stella,
You’re eleven, you shouldn’t be having these thoughts. Are you ok?
From,
Julia
(This poem’s a little corny but, hey😂)
