POEM STARTER

The sky full of stars seemed dead and cold; a place once so magical now hurt to behold.

Write a rhyming poem that ends with this line.

When the stars tasted like poetry

We used to love it here Used to frolic in the feilds Tell eachother stories And laugh off the others ears And you would say the stars tasted like poetry

We loved it here when we were 18 When we were young dumb and naive Before your past came to light Before the world crashed down Before you hated yourself

We loved it here Before tragedy and before war We loved it here Before your body was bound and chained to the floor

We loved it here Before you started doubting yourself Now it hurts to sit here Knowing you are not around

Its not like you are dead You just can’t come out Because my love No one can know you are alive

You loved it here You would stare at the stars Said they tasted like poetry I didn’t understand But I loved you anyway

You used to love it here When we were just a year younger Before everything shattered Before your body became broken and scarred

You used to love it here And i know you still would But sitting here without you I am starting to understand Why the stars taste like poetry

Because the stars hold every aspect of you Of our love; an eclipse They taste like the poetry you write Because you were the first one to say it But now the stars poetry is tragic

I loved it here Until you wondered how i could love you Though I thought the answer simple Because how could someone not love uou

I used to love it here before the war began Before the stars seemed scared When you used to say That they tasted like poetry

I used to love it here Before I knew the truth Before all i wanted to do was protect you But now What else can i do?

I think if you were out here with me now You would say the stars tasted sour Or you would curl in on yourself But I would remind you of the days when the stars tasted like poetry
