POEM STARTER
Submitted by Anni D
“Falling feels like flying until the moment that you land.”
Compose a poem that uses this quote as the central theme.
What is Love?
What is love?
The media romanticizes arguments
Misunderstandings
Doubts
All for the characters to overcome it
Right?
But love isn’t about those things
Love should be easy
It should be stable
The constant, secure rock
under your feet
That when it feels like you’re breaking
You know they’re there for you
To catch you when you stumble
or plummet or break
Love isn’t about miscommunication
Where both parties unaware
of how the other feels
It isn’t about fighting for each other
in some noble match
when there never should have been a battle
to begin with
Love is simple
or it should be

(This is just my opinion! Obviously love looks differently to each person! I just feel like in tv shows and movies love is only shown in one or two ways. It narrows down something that should be so expansive. And displays love as being really toxic and that is somehow something you should strive for.)
