POEM STARTER
Write a poem about the heart, focusing on its physicality and actions.
Avoid the kind of metaphors and language which are normally associated with the heart's emotional connection.
Heart Factory
Thump! Thump! Thump!
The powerhouse pulsates with a frantic rhythm.
On and On it stampedes its host and keeps the factory running.
Today was busy. Every worker rushed about, every worker had a job to do.
Some days we are slow, some days we keep running and one day we will run no longer.
Pump! Pump! Pump!
The head of the office keeps us in check.
We can not work forever.
The building decays. The office closes.
Hard to maintain. Soon we will be obsolete.
