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.
A Weed
Sometimes I feel like a weed
Lost and lonely
Sometimes I feel like a weed
Sick and homely
Out of place in a bed of roses
And things would be better if I was dead
Sometimes I feel like a weed
Always looking for a buzz
Sometimes I feel like a weed
My brain full of fuzz
About as useful as a worn shoe
Bright as lead
Sometimes I feel like a weed
But even weeds have flowers
