POEM STARTER

Submitted by Margaret Sok

Rotting flowers can still smell sweet…

Write a poem which centres on this theme.

⭒ we are not the same ⭒

⭒ rotting flowers still smell sweet

⭒ for you

⭒ it’s really quite neat

⭒ the differences of us two


⭒ we are not the same. ⭒


⭒ you look at a wilted rose and think

⭒ ‘look how beautiful it smells’

⭒ while i think

⭒ ’look how many dead petals it expels…


⭒ we are not the same. ⭒


⭒ you sleep in forever

⭒ nice and long

⭒ while i’m on an andeavor

⭒ to fix the world with my palm


⭒ we are not the same. ⭒


⭒ i’m trying to fix myself

⭒ i really am

⭒ but it’s hard

⭒ with no help at all
