POEM STARTER
Write a poem that uses 'eye rhyme'.
Eye rhyme is where words look like they will rhyme, but don’t when they are spoken or read. Think about how you could use these jarring 'rhymes' to portray something in your poem.

Through all the awful places that I’ve been,
And all the dark and evil things I’ve seen,
Through heartache's maze that kept me on the move,
I clung to dreams of someday finding love.
I've always longed for a son or daughter,
Imagined a home filled with joy and laughter, ...
I stepped upon a root,
It nearly broke my foot.
‘Twas all that I did find
As we pushed against the wind.
Through trees the sound of laughter,
Yet, threatened times of slaughter:
The reason we must move,

That she holds in her pocket in a hard hand;
Leaving those outside her control warred,
Against ourselves and those commands
That guide our souls towards acceptance.
And In this place where chaos is revealed
I long for peace and the love of Brunhild
And her maidens who would shield
Me from utter oblivion....
You asked me how I could just sip my wine
When my fellow interpreters suffer in vain
In the country that just fell to the Taliban
Who are the ‘students’ of the Koran
I exclaimed how it sends shivers down my spine
Seeing their chance to escape the brutal reign
Abruptly taken away with their fate slain
With their loyalties questioned once again
You knew both sides too well
Because you comma...
