POEM STARTER

Inspired by Stephanie Lacson

Mortality

Write a poem with a structured rhyme scheme, which focuses on the theme of mortality.

Soon

Rules that bind us

People who steal trust

The hearts you lose

The people you choose


You can pretend you can't see

Whom all who scream in glee

As the souls get ripped apart

That is only the start


The heartbreak feeling

The hearts they're stealing

People who know

Are too afraid to show


In short sentences they say

The things that make us pray

You know it will be over soon

You are locked inside of that cocoon


I smile looking at the silver sheath

Showing all my teeth

I know it will be over soon

But for some

Death comes sooner than others
