POEM STARTER

After The Storm

Using any form of poetry, write about an emotion as if it were a storm.

After The Storm

You drain me. Every part of me.

The pain floods through my whole body so suddenly-


The currents pull out fragments of my heart

You leave me in utter despair, slowly tearing me apart


The tears envelope me, each one stronger than the last

The flesh of my skin burns with each drop that comes so fast


Lighting cracks, electrifying my tired body, zapping only me

I don't know why, all I want is to be free


But the storm stays, and you mockingly leave

You were once my riptide, but now you take off, giving me grief


But when time passed, the rain sprinkled, instead of pouring

The tides cleared, giving me hope and restoring


When the storm left, so did my love for you

I didn’t drown, my heart stitched, now together, back in two


Sometimes dull and gray clouds came back, but only once in a while

Now look at me, head over water, walking down an aisle
