POEM STARTER

submitted by The Teen Writer

Write an elegy centered around the following words:

Hope

Darkness

Rose

An elegy is a poem that reflects upon death or mourning. They commonly have themes of sorrow and loss, but also explore redemption and consolation.

A Bed Made of Thorns

Give me black skies in the summer

Give me several  lifetimes of endless winters

Let fire fall from the sky like rain

Let it consume me with unashamed glee


Let me walk barefeet on the sands 

of the Lut desert in July

Accept my barter for a bed

Made of the thorns of roses

I'll take anything else

In exchange for this anguish


Hope?

Hope cannot pull me out

From the depths of my darkness despair

For I have lost

My childhood stuffed pet

Cow-cow
