POEM STARTER

Write a poem that centers around a woman.

The woman can be anyone you choose, ficitional or real. Is it a family member? A role model? Your favourite character? Or one of your own characters?

Stargirl

Stargirl is not a person.


She is the stars that shine above

That could teach our parents love

She is hope wrapped in a body

That is both secular and godly


Long rains, grass stains

Break a lonely poets chains

She is always shifting

Just as the world is drifting


But unlike the world

She doesn’t have a course

An unfinished canvas; paints swirled

A melancholy messy force


She is the howling wind

A young child born in sin

She is a manifestation

Or our pain and our patience


She is a fiery rage

She is freedom

She is the burning of sage

In a dirty kingdom


She is a dice

And a rhyme

And the passage of time

She is an intricate device

And a fight

And a _fight._


She is my fight.


Stargirl is not a person.
