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.
