POEM STARTER

Inspired by Jewelie Rain

Write a poem that transitions through two or more of the seven stages of grief: denial, bargaining, anger, depression, loss of self, reflection, and acceptance.

Miss You, Can’t Have You

Bitter, black, poured hot

Seething, molten lava, never roiling.

Cold in minutes, discarded desired then left, stained,

spoiling.

Acclimated taste, years of sugar coating

Morning then into the evening always sharing,

delighting.

Comforted, warmed, outside and in.

Desiring

Uniquely yours, uniquely mine

Remembering, a Silent caring.

Ubiquitous, now boring

Jitters, blank staring

Luke warm, stale

Can’t not,

desired when without

Becoming Unavailing

Always too much

Now too little

Cold black bitter

Watered down, broken

Healing.
