POEM STARTER

Write an Epode based on any theme you like.

An Epode is a style of poetry where each verse is two lines which differ in meter and structure, but the second line is always shorter than the first.

Hope, Wish, Wonder, Know

I really do hope people know I care

And that people know I’m there


I honestly wish people could hear my voice

Not just see my words


I wonder if people randomly think of me

Like I do of them


I know people care about me

Even if I am annoying


I hope people recognize i always try to help

Even if i make a mess in the process


I sincerely wish people would look at me and see

The person i have become and not the old me


I wonder if people ever dream of me at night

Or if they are normal, I would not put up a fight


I know people listen to me talk

Because they tell me they do


I really hope people understand when i tell them I am here

That its not a joke, a gag or a jeer


I wish people could see the love in my eyes

When they come to me, instead of forcing me first


I wonder what people think when they see me

Do they see a freak a monster or do they see me


I know you have read this poem

If you have reached this last line


So I will thank you

For your time


This may not be anything close to perfect

But I made it, so that makes it worth it
