POEM STARTER

Inspired by Maranda Quinn

Write a poem in any form, on any topic you like, which uses a single metaphor throughout.

Try to develop the metaphor as the poem progresses, and use it as a central theme throughout.

My Ocean.

Poetry

You’re the ocean.

May seem like a strange comparison,

But you are.

I could drown in just the idea of you alone.

I’d go out too far.

So far I can’t stand.

Just because it’s you.

I’ll stay till I sink.

And when I sink I’ll be sinking in you.

As long as it’s you.

Sinking deep.

But it’d be so thrilling,

And so exciting

That I’d forget to come up for air.

And simply just drown in you.

The ocean,

My ocean.
