POEM STARTER

Submitted by Antaura Dawn

'The stars were what she liked most about the sky. Then, they started to fall.'

Write a poem based around this idea. You could include the line, use it as a central theme, or turn it into a metaphor.

The Clouds Couldn’t Stay

The sky so blue

And soft summer days

But all of it was lost

Covered in an endless haze


She longed to reach and touch the stars

But they began to fall

This was the consequence

Of all


The smoke left

The plastic bags

The poisoned water

The thrown out rags


And so she let them go

The plants died, life went away

Even people couldn’t make it

The clouds couldn’t stay
