POEM STARTER
Loss
Write a poem, in any style, that focuses on the theme of loss.
nightlight
“take me to the moon.”
it became my only goal
give her the world
then fly her to the moon
i finally watched her smile
i hadnt seen her eyes squint
her nose scrunch
or her cheeks glow
in years
i was her nightlight
the light amongst her desolate perception
After years of her seeing complete and utter darkness
something in her had brightened
i saw her get better
slowly, but surely
i felt myself slip away
as her darkness slowly faded away
so did i
i knew my purpose.
get her through the night
then fade away as the brightness of the sun softly slips through her window
after all
what is the purpose of a nightlight after the sun comes up?
so
to the person who becomes her sun
remember she loves the night
she adores the silhouettes of the trees and the chilly breeze
but most importantly?
she loves the moon
so take her to the moon for me, ok?
