POEM STARTER
Write a poem that has a whimsical mood.
The word whimsical is defined as being playfully fanciful, especially in an appealing way. What kind of language would you use to portray this?
falling (in love)
a waterfall,
I find,
is much like love.
it starts with the descent,
leaping off the edge
to form a beautiful fall
that the depths
of the ocean would envy.
it's the time
most wish they could
once more experience;
the weightless joy
before plummeting.
while sounding horrid,
in many ways
the crash
is what crosses the bridge
between admirement
and love.
being enveloped
by the ferocity
of feelings washing over you,
and surviving
to reach a calm settlement,
finding peace
in that love
and letting it lull.
