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
