POEM STARTER

Write a poem about contentedness that makes use of anaphora between the end of one line and start of the next.

Anaphora is the repeating of a word or phrase for a specific impact. It can be used at the beginning of all lines, or at the end of one and beginning of the next.

Forever Chased

Poetry

Chased by the reality of not being enough, worried it might last forever

Chased after heights while being rebuffed, overreached without hesitancy forever

Chased by bullies in all shapes and size, they nipped at my heels forever

Chased after the prize with unrelenting pursuit, unwilling to settle forever

Chased by desire to do more than most, a goal line relocated forever

Chased after dreams, not for almost, discontent fueled the fire forever

Great poem!

Aspiring writer yet to be published. My love of writing started in grade school. Whenever I misbehaved in church, which was often, the punishment doled out was to write essays entitled “Why I must behave in church”. And I’ve been writing ever since.
