POEM STARTER
Compose a poem centred around the theme of love languages.
Love languages refer to the ways in which we express and feel love.
Not A Romance, But A Curse
The students down the corridor
Walk hand in hand;
The nervous high schooler
Confesses, with an
Evident blush.
The girl opens the chocolates,
And the flowers,
And the cards.
It’s the day of love.
But this year,
Again I am the onlooker,
The person in the crowd,
Involuntarily spectating
Yearly performances
That I can never understand
For who could love an outcast?
A reject
A trash.
Who could write a card
Knowing I would be the receiver?
What cruel prank instructs them
To mock me and my solitude?
So again, this year
I enjoy this day
Of quiet remark
And not a single greeting.
