POEM STARTER
Write a poem that has three narrative voices.
These three voices may be in a conversation with another, or they can be given separate stanzas. Try to give them each a clear voice that distinguishes who is narrating.
Sick Of You
[ONE]
I broke her heart,
and I meant every crack.
She should’ve been smart
because it was just a contract.
If I’m foul,
why did you love me?
You scowl,
but you were just a nominee.
We had a deal,
and I kept it.
I never had feelings to conceal,
but I guess yours were legit.
[TWO]
I’m left to pick up the pieces
of an organ that was never mine.
Through sobs and wheezes,
I struggle to resign.
It was a negotiation,
where I thought we both agreed.
But, considering the situation,
I guess both couldn’t succeed.
He broke my heart
and meant every sprain.
I should’ve been smart
and considered him vain.
[THREE]
Friends don’t torment
the ones they love most.
You didn’t know what it all meant?
Now, she’s diagnosed.
You broke her heart
and meant every rupture.
You didn’t do your part,
now she’s left to build up her structure.
I’m ashamed of the fact
that I used to be your sidekick.
While you polished every crack,
I became sick.
She and I both.
We became sick of you
