POEM STARTER

Paper boats, the scent of lemons, and tears.

Use these descriptors as inspiration for a poem.

oh

oh, the paper boats are rather dramatic


they barely stay afloat due to their rather light buoyancy


oh, the scent of lemons are rather sour


they have an intimidating scent


but don’t hold any power


because it’s just citrus juice


and sour too


oh, tears can be very different from each other


it could be a rip into something


or emotional sadness or joy coming from the wetness of our eyes


all of these things seem so simple to say aloud


but they don’t always seem the way we expect:


paper boats aren’t always efficient


they are sometimes useless


lemons aren’t always sour or smell tangy with a citrus touch


tears aren’t always happy


and a tear doesn’t always rip from a good cause.
