Poetry - Day One

We have now finished the Creative Writing module. As we are waiting for our results, we are trying to write a poem a day throughout June. The prompts we are using are from Mslexia. 

Prompt: Randomly pick five titles of poems; work from them towards your own poem.

Titles: Where We Belong; a Duet.
          Snake.
          It was the Rainbow gave thee Birth.
          In Willesdon Churchyard.
          And Yet the Books. 

Enjoy my poem, then go and look up the others.


Duet
Born wrapped in a rainbow,
you chose to see the rain cloud.
The duet we danced,
a parody of pleasure.
I lift my rose-coloured glass
and toast the sunset.
You drop your eyes and mourn
the coming of the dark.
Our last waltz together
will be in Willesdon churchyard.
Once you've embraced despair,
I'll leave you there 
and I'll dance on alone
amongst the stones.
