Write a poem about a couple going through a breakup, with the following criteria:
  • Must be non-rhyming free verse written in the third-person objective;
  • You cannot mention the breakup directly (i.e. no wording about love, relationships, etc.);
  • The scene must be in a public place;
  • It must be realistic.
