  • lydia-writes started the topic Dear Heart (free verse) in the forum Poetry Discussions 7 years, 10 months ago

    Hi! I wrote a poem for a contest but forgot to enter and missed the deadline. :p This was my first time writing a free verse poem from a prompt and with guidelines. I’ve written free verse poems before though. Any critiques are welcome 🙂
    The guidelines were
    -must start with “Dear (something)”
    -30 word limit

    Dear heart
    He calls
    Courage
    I’m drowning in a sea of anxiety
    Wind mutes his voice
    Focused on my problems
    I miss his outstretched hand
    He calms the sea instead

    I’m not sure about the last line…
    Also what poem would you write with the guidelines?
    -Lydia
