POEM STARTER

Write a poem titled ‘Over The Hill’.

Is the title literal or a metaphor? See where this title can take you.

Over The Hill

I always wondered what was here on the other side

But seeing you now makes it’s all come together

The great divide was never me

It was never us

You know who

So hearing these words again can’t come as a shock

I know who you’re really talking to

The biggest disappointment you’ve known is staring back at you with fresh eyes and a rosy flush

But all you can see is yourself in her little brown eyes

Everything you’ve ever hated about your liver your gut your spleen and your heart

She’s looking into your body and absorbing all you’ve ever known within

She knows

You know

But you keep reminding her

She wishes she never went over the hill

Because that’s where he resides

And that is where she begins
