CREATIVE WRITINGLesson 26 – April 14, 2015

WARM UP WRITING Mending

A giant hand inside my chestStretches out and takes

My heart within its mighty graspAnd squeezes till it breaks.

A gentle hand inside my chest,With mending tape and glue,

Patches up my heart untilIt's almost good as new.

I ought to know by now thatBroken hearts will heal again.

But while I wait for glue and tape,The pain!The pain!The pain!

By Judith Viorst
