POEM STARTER

Write a poem where the opening line is in a different language.

If you don't know another language you could look up a common phrase said in your language of choice that is linked to the theme of your poem.

Gan Bari Mashou

「頑張りましょう」


“Yes, let’s,” my reply


And do our best we did

We gave it our all

We did all we could


Through loss of life

And Enduring their lies

Staging tearful protests


We voted

Petitioned

We wrote letters

Both angry

And kind


We saw families displaced

And many destroyed

So much inhumanity


Despite all our efforts

Those hateful bills passed
