POEM STARTER

Write a poem that transitions through two or more of the seven stages of grief: denial, bargaining, anger, depression, loss of self, reflection, and acceptance.

The Wings Of A Butterfly

The wings of a butterfly

Lay crumpled at my feet

My heart begs to live

But I won’t let it beat


Because somewhere in this endless world

Somewhere your body lays

And until I get to bury you

I will keep digging that grave


So fly me away on your wings of ivory

Don’t leave me to this earth

With pulseless, ruined body

And a soul drained of mirth


If only I could have something of you

To hear your voice so sweet

But only the wings of a butterfly

Lay crumpled at my feet
