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
