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”.
