POEM STARTER
Write a poem about the heart, focusing on its physicality and actions.
Avoid the kind of metaphors and language which are normally associated with the heart's emotional connection.
Keeps Going
The heart keeps going
Never stops going
Slowly or quickly, doesn’t matter, still it’s going
Always in your body as it keeps on going
The heart keeps beating
To make sure you’re breathing, it’s beating
As you’re moving, your heart’s always beating
A thump in your chest that keeps on beating
The heart keeps flowing
To make sure the body works, it’s flowing
The blood throughout the body keeps flowing
All from the heart where the blood’s flowing
The heart keeps going
You would be dead if your heart stopped going
But it does so you can keep going
From a heart always beating, flowing, and going
