POEM STARTER

'It’s all fun and games until someone gets hurt.'

Using this common saying as inspiration, write a poem about something that was meant to be good going wrong.

This Was Something Once

We laugh, we play,

We run around in the sunshine

We joke, we kiss,

We do all the things couples do


We love, we hug

We always support each other

We listen, we wait

We don’t see each other as much


We stop, we try

We see if this is still working

We want, we love

We love each other so we try


We fight, we yell

We can’t agree on anything

We scream, we shout

We should really stop this now, right?


We pause, we fix

We try to go back but we can’t

We cry, we fail

We can never go back to that


I think, you know

This isn’t working anymore

I leave, you go

This was once something beautiful


I hurt, do you?

You’re so far away from me now

I stumble, I look back

We just aren’t made for each other
