POEM STARTER
Write a poem that has a whimsical mood.
The word whimsical is defined as being playfully fanciful, especially in an appealing way. What kind of language would you use to portray this?
Star-soaked Demise
Stepped out of my spaceship mid-flight
Into the teary, star-speckled sky
Black as night but bursting with color
Found myself falling into a slumber
But it wasn't a slumber, you see,
I'd forgotten my helmet, silly me!
Frightened as the air was sucked out of my lungs
A sinking feeling settling in my tum
Stardrops dancing in front of my eyes
Laughing as they watched me die
Floating about in a teary haze
They drifted past my afixed gaze
The suddenly, someone came out of the blue
Said, "silly you, I've been there too,
Don't worry though, it gets better
You just have to wait for calmer weather!"
With that, the figure floated on past
Left me helpless, floating unattached
To my spaceship, which drifted farther away
Oh what a hopeless, miserable day!
