POEM STARTER
Inspired by Stephanie Lacson
Mortality
Write a poem with a structured rhyme scheme, which focuses on the theme of mortality.
Mortal & Shattered
I am but a mortal
A breath, and I am broken
Moving me from eloquence
To pains that are unspoken
I am but a mortal
Who yearns to be complete
And yet, today I’m pieces
Scattered at my feet

It’s so deep and sounds metaphorical for when you feel that your life is falling apart. I love it 🤗
Whoa, such a deep poem with an eerie air! I second all that Jawafra has said!
Wonderfully done! I just read it three times to enjoy the rhythm and the perfect combination of images!
