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
