POEM STARTER

Write a poem about someone dancing, that portrays the movements and atmosphere of their dance.

It doesn't necessarily have to be fluid and elegant dance; they could be portraying something else with their movements. You could focus on any aspect that is rich in description and can be reflected in your writing style.

Tears In The Rain

Poetry

I dance in the rain

With tears in my eyes

Remembering the day

A part of me died

When you left this earth

A piece of me you took

The rain disguises my weeping

So no one takes a second look

A father daughter bond

Is one that’s unmatched

I still can’t comprehend

Why from my life you were snatched

So I dance in the rain

With tears in my eyes

Hoping for a happier tomorrow

For you dad, I’ll try

Sorry for your loss. I think the message is really sweet though.

You so beautifully described the pain of grief. I love the line ‘The rain disguises my weeping’.
