POEM STARTER
After The Storm
Using any form of poetry, write about an emotion as if it were a storm.
Anxiety
The storm is brewing
It starts mild
The signs are there
I recognize them
Of course I have I’ve seen them often enough
Of course there’s nothing I can do about it
So I let it unfold
It comes over me stronger and stronger until all I can feel is it
I sink to the ground
I have no shelter from the storm
No one to pull me out and away from the terror
There is lightning and I scream shake
And than its over
As quick as it had began
And all i have left is me
I am drenched in the aftermath
Liquid running down my face
Only I’m not sure its water
