POEM STARTER

Compose a poem centred around the theme of 'the one that got away'.

Circus

Ain’t it strange

The way we rearrange

To have our love stay in our life?


So bizarre

How I would go so far

Just to keep my love, to lose my strife


Just like an angel

Like a sweet bird of prey

You landed on my arm and caught me by surprise

You came on strong, then gently flew away


Just like a circus

We walked on the tightrope trapeze

We couldn’t balance

With the weight of our hearts in our knees


You made me laugh

I made you smile all around

But I was taken and you were just broken up

It’s the timing that turns you into a clown


And it’s strange

Yes, it’s so bizarre

I’m here waiting on this worn out page

And you’re flying high on a star


So it goes

Love’s labors lost again

So who knows?

Maybe it was only a circus in the end
