POEM STARTER

Inspired by Maranda Quinn

Write a poem using Purple Prose.

Purple prose is an overly ornate writing style marked by extravagant, flowery language and excessive use of adjectives, often distracting from the writing.

Rain

Feel the dampness of the rain

Cozy rain

How it placates the spirits and assuages all pain

Hear it drizzle drizzle drizzle in the penetrating wind

Underneath the weeping trees

As the sleeping willow bleeds

Onto soft and supple skin

Watch it fall, fall, fall down the terracotta wall

Hear the melancholy ballad as the angels start to bawl

Smell the petrichor aroma that will always remain

From the rain, from the rain

From the rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain

Hear the whispering and the whistling of the rain
