Writing Prompt

POEM STARTER

Use the 'snowball technique' to write a poem, where the first line is one word long, the second line has two words, and so on.

Remember you do not have to 'build' on the first word - each line should use different words.

Growing Apart

Tears

Held in

And wiped away

A smile plastered on

Why am I even crying

I always knew this would happen

But I wasnt ready. I wasnt prepared

Now everything is different and I hate it

I hate it I hate it I hate it

I see my closest friends once a day, the morning

When we are all too tired to even talk

The rest of my friends are someplace else

I wonder if they ever think of me

I know I’ve been thinkin...

Snow Outside

Cold

Snow falling

Whirling around me

Trapping me inside darkness

Encasing me in thick fog

A heavy burden on my heart

A mind torn into to many pieces

A life filled with grief that always stays

Nowhere to go now and I’ve always known that

Because the snow keeps on falling and its cold outside

Reflecting Pool

Danger!

Love dies,

Making me sick.

Its poison, my veins.

Meet the disaster I am.

I have become oblivious and ignorant.

Bliss be damned—I haven’t much left

To glue, for my pockets are weighed down

By stones. Looking at myself in the reflecting pool,

I fight the urge to jump to the bottom barrel....

Little me

Hello

I know

It’s been awhile

Did you miss me

Or forget that I exist

I know you don’t really care

But I remember your smile and eyes

And how i used to sing to you

But It is very different now I know that

I’ve grown up but you stay stuck in the past

You are my past, I know that is dark and hard

But I watch you every day, see you grow up and change

Little me, never forget I am here when you are re...

Me

Me

Not me

This isn’t me.

The dress doesn’t fit

The suit is too tight.

I will always fall short of

What people want. What they are expecting.

The pain isn’t physical, it plagues my mind.

This song is broken, it isn’t true, it lies

Do I dance on; to a song I don’t know?...

Inherently Wrong

wrong

always wrong

heaven and hell

where will i go?

i can only hope heaven

but i am meant for hell

how could anyone deny i deserve justice

i was not truly meant for this reality

because i am inherently wrong in a world where

wrong means bad and bad means condemnation no matter what...

Cherri

My Cherri

You showed up

On your own time

You brought with you the

Gift of rest, bestowed it upon

My heart. Cherri my anchor, oh my

Wonderful little girl, every day with you is

Filled with overflowing joy. My Cherri pie, my angel

I will forever be your home, your lighthouse, your beacon

...

No, Just No

Sorry

My stars

I'm so sorry

I never told you

I feel like total shit

In the dark, in my room

Feeling tired for zero reason at all

I dont mean to be rude to you

It just slips out, I don't feel like texting

I don't want to burden you with all my problems

Just know, please know, I love you and I'm so sorry...

Right
right?

You.

Why you?

You did this?

But why dear friend?

Did you mean to send,

Those words to me that day?

Did you mean to stab my heart?

I’m sure you didn’t really truly mean it,

That it was all just a joke with me,

That I didn’t get right, yes that’s it, that’s it.

No, you couldn’t have mean those words that hurt me so badly.

It was all a mistake, yes that’s it, that’s the real truth.

Because you never ...

I

Love you

Dearest Kim Seungmin,

Hold me close forever,

You are my forever, baby,

I will never not love you,

You may be an idol, but I

Want you to know how much I care,

Kim Seungmin, you are my forever and my everything,

Your songs bring us closer and make our bond stronger.

I love you dearest Kim Seungmin, my beloved idol and inspiration.
