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!
