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
