POEM STARTER
Write a specular poem on heartbreak.
Specular poems are usually two verses long, with the second verse being the first verse repeated backwards to achieve a certain tone. The reversed verse must still make sense.
Goodbye, it wasn’t real anyway
I held onto you as if love could stop me from falling.
Words tasted like hope before it burned
Your silence cuts sharper than any goodbye
I gave you the pieces I swore I’d keep,
Believing pain was proof that love was real.
Believing pain was proof that love was real.
I gave you the pieces I swore I’d keep,
Your silence cuts sharper than any goodbye
Words tasted like hope before it burned
I held onto you as if love could stop me from falling.
Goodbye, it wasn’t real anyway
