POEM STARTER
Submitted by Maranda Quinn
Write a poem from the perspective of someone who obviously hates — or is just extremely bad at — poetry.
Try to consider why someone may feel pressured to write a poem. Love? A school project?

Now I’m not good at rhyming
It takes too much thinking
And we both know
How good I am at that
But I just wanted to tell you
In my own special way
That you, my friend,
Are special as well
And I know I should stop
And I know I should stay
But being in this position
Burns my heart away
See, I rhymed
I rhymed for you
So can you see the passion now?
It’s your fault anyway—being so cute
If you had...
I want to write a book,
but I’m scared I can’t do well.
I want to right a book,
but who’s story do I tell?
Do I write of love and fairytales?
Or a tragic combat where the hero fails?
My story or theirs?
This plot or that one?
As hard as I try, I can’t make it fun.
I can’t find the story that I’m meant to write,
something within me knows it’s not right.
I want to write a book
but I’m sc...
when you look at me
a smile is what you will see
you say my name
and i feel full of fame
out of every god to ever be believed in
you are the only one to erase all my sin
i know that i’m not worthy of your love
but will you still be my dove?
Happy Valentine’s day Andrea
Love, Casey
(P.S. sorry for the bad poetry)

This is my poem.
Now, leave me alone!
What? You got a bone,
To pick with me?
Don’t you see?
I’m finally free.
Since I furnished,
The task finished.
Your power diminished.
I hate poetry.
What, it can’t be?
No possibility?
Well I despise it!
And if the shoe fit,
You musn’t acquit.
You didnt notice?
Well, time to focus.
Just give me the bonus....

Today is your lucky day
You’ll see me try to rhyme
(Key word: try)
I swear, if this is a waste of time…
While you’re here, maybe I’ll tell you why this sucks
Poetry is so RESTRICTIVE
Don’t even get me started…
It makes me feel a tad vindictive
Writing a poem is a struggle
Even reading one doesn’t make sense
And the poems we “analyze” (more like make up meanings for) in English class…

I’m struggling to make my words rhyme , My tongue twisted into the taste of lime . I’ll pour you a drink of wine as my poem are claimed to be mine .
The way my poem intertwine my emotions as they spill onto the lines , The way the ink makes the page stink as it seeps through onto the other side it no longer glides for there tears that fell on the page leaving a stain that will always remain .

I absolutely hate love, why?
Because my mind goes completely frantic
When I want to say something romantic
I think of poetry, but my lips go static
My heart says “you are radiant, cosmic.
You’re voice a symphony, melodic.
Tell me your every thought on any topic,
I want to know you, down to the microscopic.”
But when I see you, I go blank and I panic
So all I can manage to say is “Hi.”...
The dark, frigid waters
Are waters dark and frigid.
They’re cold, making
Them never warm.
It’s that way because….
Of something.
Since I was a whippersnapper
Ive known where I’m from.
That’s enough for me.
I mean, why do I have to express
Myself in this manner? It feels
Like I’m just making incomplete
Sentences to unclearly
Portray how I’m feeling.
Let’s be honest: most poetry
We call good would p...
I can’t find the words to say
Repetition is to blame
Nothing ever feels the same
And I just wanna stop
I know it’s good for my brain
But man, it’s driving me insane
Translate feelings, mostly pain
A time for taking stock
Fuck these lines
Fuck these rhymes
Fuck, I’ve wasted all my time
I don’t know and I don’t care
Why would you, an unheard prayer
This thing called art I may forswear
Eternal wri...
