POEM STARTER
Write a poem where the first line of each stanza uses internal rhyme.
Internal rhyme is where words within the same line, or in the middle of different lines, rhyme with each other (not the last word of each line rhyming). e.g. 'I let you see a side of me that isn't seen often'.

crooked teeth, bruised knees, and capital cities sent my head spinning,
questioning things I didn’t think needed questioning.
dance down the aisle to the supermarket radio.
fluorescent lights scrutinise words that ring true,
but we don’t have to acknowledge them if you don’t want to,
not until shared smiles and looks caught across kitchen tiles make it the unavoidable conclusion.

Wondering whether you see the sea or do you see me.
Yearning to be near the sea in order to see the truth about me.
What is it I fear this year, to shed another tear.
New dat dawns with a yawn and a dawn and a same old song.
Living life without strife while dreading the time coming near.
I nearly fear the year my dear, shedding tears.
The day ends, new friends to begin anew.

People say you’re mean, people say you’re bad but people don’t know why.
I know you don’t mean any harm, you are just doing what your dad taught you all your life.
Traumatized, broken, darkness Inside.
You think nobody loves you, but for you I would give my life.
You deserve to be loved you deserve to laugh.
Your father will one day pay you back.
No matter what happens I’ll always be by your side...
trying to write something good
trying to light that spark
that special sauce
I think to myself that this must have been the feeling they had that caused the Big Mac to be created
I’ve waited and waited to write for too long
Not realizing the sparks been hiding under my fingers
15 or more tries to write this prompt
Two survived this war that has been going on
Between me and my inner critic
I g...
Contemplative, complicated, consequated
Long play baby.
Illiterately brilliant, she’s never
Always sometimes maybe.
Gone for good, back next week.
She stood herself up with a 24 bug,
An array of strangeties and novelties
And a deadly dangerous undying love.
She’s just too perfect for me
And that’s a major no-no
Because I know no reason why
She wanted to go on solo.
Met her in my simple sights....
On the edge, looking down,
Falling down, down, down,
Debts and worries, stress
Just hurries, around and around.
My head is full. My head is full.
Tick, tick, tick, tick.
I’m fed up of finding sanctuary
In soft porn and drugs.
There’s no sanctity, no sanity
In soft comma porn and drugs.
Drugs, drugs, drugs, stop.
I’m on the edge of admiring
Everything I could be.
I’m on the edge of believing

Little raptor so very far
On an island, above the great star
Does your stomach twist too?
When you’re hungry and you catch your prey
Can you eat it?
Or, does your neck twist over 1000 times
Does your heart flutter and your breath catches
When you are just doing your thang?
It aches and brakes
My daily chores
So I was just wondering dear Velociraptor
If you had similar symptoms?
Because w...
We were friends once and now we have met our end.
I let you go peacefully because you still ment the world to me.
But instead of doing the same you added on to my pain.
Trying to rip all of my other friends away even though you knew that at the end of the day you would break me.
That's the thing though, you didn't care; you just kept insaulting me.
Its not fair because I was the one who held your ...
you remind me of the summer
it’s a bummer you had to leave
but i guess you have something better to do
i think i should too
moving on to better things
the weather changing among them
i let it come and go in waves
it’s true form never shows
so i’ll stay here in this season of eternity
waiting to find a reason to be
here now that you have left all alone
and i long to not feel small...
