POEM STARTER

Imagine you are a young child attempting rhyming poetry for the first time.

Consider the language you use to reflect the child’s age. Also try to think about what would be an important topic for them to write about.

Rot

Poetry

Finding happiness in loneliness

Is all I want

But this is paralisis

With no time to let go

Wait for me to change

I’m begging you

I can get better

There’s still hope left in me

I will fight

No matter how hard

To beat this aching longing

I’ve been feeling

Only the world will see

If I’m alive or in a dream state

But here I wake

Dreaming again

Things will get better

But it starts with what I could never give

I just want to give a fuck

Leaving me to rot

Leave me here under the tree to rot
