POEM STARTER

Use the 'snowball technique' to write a poem, where the first line is one word long, the second line has two words, and so on.

Remember you do not have to 'build' on the first word - each line should use different words.

Holding Me Down

I

Can only

Take so much

Before I start to

Fall apart at the seams


You see me struggle and bend

Watching and waiting for me to break

Knowing how much you hurt me each time

I’m _drowning_ and you’re the one holding me down

I could really feel the emotions in this! 🥺 I love how the format adds to the theme of taking more and more on emotionally and physically.
