POEM STARTER

Submitted by Margaret Sok

Rotting flowers can still smell sweet…

Write a poem which centres on this theme.

A rotting flower, a rotting life

If I was a flower

I'd be rotten

But to others

I still smell sweet


Why must it be this way

How can a flower be so rotten

How can I be so rotten


A flower looks terrible

But still smells sweet

As am I


People are drawn to me for no reason

It's either love or hatred

They either think I look too rotten

Or think I smell so sweet


It's a rotten flower

And a rotten life
