POEM STARTER

You are out walking when you see a person sitting alone on a bench under a Willow tree, crying. Write a poem about them.

This could be written as though you are observing the person but not interacting, or as though you have approached the person and offered to help.

Breakup

Wind swept hair

Salty tears

Mascara running down her face

Yet I had never seen someone so beautiful


My heart skipped a beat

Breathing in and out

Without a doubt

I had to know who she was


I walked over

Slowly taking steps

Planning out what I would say

In my head


She looked up at me

Her blue eyes

Filled with despair and not glee

And asked who is thee


I announced my name

Asked if she was ok

But the tears came harder

And she burried her face


Through muffled sobs

I heard her small voice

Reaching out to me

I could rejoice


I reached out and held her hand

As she explained about a man

She had been broken up with

What a tragic day

But she was okay


I held her in my arms

She explained the details

Through anger and sorrow

And she told me her name


Celeste

She said

Like the stars

above your head


I told her it was beautiful

Just like her face

And she wrapped me in a warm embrace

I get this out of grace


We talked about stars

About love and about pain

But we had to go our separate ways

And continue our days


I still think about her now

Because I havent seen her

Since that day

In the spring


I hope she is doing better

And I hope

Oh god I hope

That to her, the world isn’t quite as mean
