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.
My Love
My love for you oozes out of my being,
Like ink from a pen.
For I could never stop loving you,
Till the end of all men.
Life passes quickly, quicker for some,
But with you it feels endless.
Anything I do with you,
It leaves me feeling senseless.
I wouldn’t mind sitting in silence with you,
For it is not a silence.
It is a conversation simply without words,
But instead speaking of hearts.
Then again, love doesn’t always last,
For my heart does hold scars,
And my brain holds scorned memories.
