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
