Choose one object:

• a flower
• a photograph
Assign emotional meaning to it and build a poem around that symbol in your journal 🖋️
I found a red rose dead and dried
A forgotten memory a forgotten time
Stuck between to blank pages in a book
The past suffused; love forsook.
Haunted by a smile that slipped away
Holding on to pieces of yesterday
Happily ever after, just a lie.
A cruel shadow where my dreams go to die
For so long I chased the dream
Happily ever after but not for me
I found a half-written letter you started for me.
Left in a drawer, ink faded, starting to bleed.
A piece of a sentence, the paper torn.
The mask removed, no longer worn.
Stuck in the dark, a lost version of me.
A final scene in our tragedy
It started like any other, no surprise.
“Dear John, I can no longer go on living this lie.”
No more forever just left with goodbye.
Looking back, so clear to me today.
Instead of keeping, I should’ve thrown the rose away.
Exercise 6 rain
Bring on the storm, we’ll dance in the rain
bring on the thunder, let it call my name
we ain’t running for cover, we ain’t playing it safe
we’re one bad move away from going up in flames
if the sky falls down, let it fall our way
we’ll make a home outta what it breaks
if loving you’s a tornado
I’ll ride it out like a desperado
till the rain stops or the wind breaks
bring on the storm, we’ll dance in the rain
Exercise alliteration
Murmurs in a moonlit hall
Masked reflections on the wall
Mellow glances, stolen time
Every moment feels like mine
