POEM STARTER

Survival

Write a poem based on the theme of survival.

Promise

I cry myself to sleep at night

She’s always yelling at you, it’s not fair

Can’t she stop?

Or at least only yell at me?


I can’t promise we’ll be happy

All I can do is tell stories with you

Listening to your laugh, seeing your smile

At least for a little while


I can’t promise we’ll be safe

All I can do is wait, at least for now

But give it six years and I’ll be able to drive

And I’ll get us out of here alive


I can’t promise we’ll be happy

I can’t promise we’ll be safe

But I promise you’ll survive
