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
