POEM STARTER
Submitted by Antaura Dawn
'The stars were what she liked most about the sky. Then, they started to fall.'
Write a poem based around this idea. You could include the line, use it as a central theme, or turn it into a metaphor.
Far Fallen
The stars keep me grounded
The skies have me astounded
Staring at the clouds fly past
Living each moment as if it were my last
_Maybe all _
_Stars_
_F_
_A_
_L_
_L_
_Eventually_
A girl crafted of stardust
Comforted me when I was young
She was freedom captured in a body
My silent rebellion
Stargirl.
All I feel is
Nothing
It’s almost worse than pain
But not quite I must say
It’s like the world is ending
And reality is bending
But I’ve given too much
And I’m tired as such
So I’ll just stay behind
With a pencil,
Notebook paper,
Her
She fell a long way to get here
I wonder if she longs for home too.
