April 21, 2023 -Begin by reading Sarah Gambito’s poem “Grace.” Now, choose an abstract noun from the list below, and then use that as the title for a poem that contains very short lines, and at least one invented word.
Honesty
Why
did you lie?
Was the truth
that hard
to reveal?
did you lie?
Was the truth
that hard
to reveal?
Did you
know
how much
it would
hurt me
as you continue
to conceal?
Do you
even care?
Do you
even feel?
What was
the appeal?
You knew
your smile
was my
Achilles heel...
And yet
my heart
you steal.
As if
it was
no big deal.
And now
my insides
slowly turn
to knit-steel.
