POEM STARTER
Title your poem after someone you have felt profoundly influenced by in your life.
It doesn’t have to be someone you know personally, but the poem should reflect why this person is important to you, even if it is not directly about them.
July 4th
echoes of a stranger lingered
It’s been a year since you left
It’s been a year since we talked
It’s been a year since I slept.
My promises kept, “no matter
What” was the promise but it was you who left.
