POEM STARTER
Write a poem about the heart, focusing on its physicality and actions.
Avoid the kind of metaphors and language which are normally associated with the heart's emotional connection.
Cardiovascular Lament
A muscle like no other
A muscle nonetheless
A pound of fresh flesh
0.5 to be exact rather
Faulty under distress
Arteries like a mesh
Loyally feeding itself
Dual pump pumping
Left side going further
The bedrock of health
Carbon dioxide dumping
Derailed by a murmur
Romanticised excessively
Blamed for poor decisions
Too preoccupied to yield
Each breath successively
Actively avoiding incisions
Till I’m buried in a field
