POEM STARTER

Inspired by Robin Marlowe

Write a poem that contains a volta before the final line.

A volta is a twist, normally at the end of a sonnet. Rather than a plot twist, this is normally a change of ideas, an inversion of the main theme, or a change of heart about an opinion.

Selfish

I want to see you

I think

I want to be close to you

Even if just for a drink

I want to feel you

Even if it doesn’t last till spring

But you are not in my dreams

Is it selfish to want you

Not because of you

but solely for me
