POEM STARTER
Write a specular poem on heartbreak.
Specular poems are usually two verses long, with the second verse being the first verse repeated backwards to achieve a certain tone. The reversed verse must still make sense.
I Loved You (Past Tense Now)
“I love you,”
I used to say.
What hurts most is,
They don’t still hold true.
Words fly from my mouth, and yet.
Each one is truth.
You told lies, but
I never believed you.
I never believed you.
You told lies but,
Each one is truth.
Words fly from my mouth, and yet
They don’t still hold true.
What hurts the most is,
I used to say,
“I love you”.
