POEM STARTER

Write a poem that only involves dialogue.

Remember dialogue has to be between two or more people; it cannot be a monologue. Try to make it clear which voice is speaking when.

A Dialogue

I think we need to talk. I’m thinking of making a roast for dinner. I’m being serious. If you’re working late, I can wait for the weekend. Please, I’m trying to tell you something. I quite fancy roast, though. You see the thing is, I’ve met someone else. I can always reheat it when you come home. And I know this is hard to hear. Yes, I think I’ll cook a roast. And I know you won’t want to listen. I’ll just set the table for myself. But I think we both know that we’ve been drifting apart for a long time now. I’ll make you up a plate and leave it in the microwave. And she makes me really happy. All you’ll need to do is get your own cutlery from the drawer. I want to spend my life with someone who makes me happy. Fine, I’ll lay a place for you at the table, you’ll just have to heat up the plate. And you haven’t made me happy for a very long time. If you want to wake me to heat it up for you, I don’t mind. So what I’m trying to say is that I’m leaving you. I’ll see you when you get home from work, then. I’ve packed all my things and hired a van. Make sure you drive safe. I’m leaving tonight. Goodnight, darling.
