POEM STARTER
Write a blank verse poem on a topic that's important to you.
Blank verse poetry doesn't rhyme, but has a very strict structure which builds a melody through rhythm. (One way to create this is to structure each line with the same amount of syllables, and the same syllabic stresses, like you might if you were writing the verses of a song.)
The Hell She Hath Created
She was an enchantress with a halo of moonbeams,
A heartbeat that measured distance in light years
As she projected images of autumnal affairs
Into my otherwise empty head where visions
Of perfect nuance, of her, on the cusp of
Womanhood, still clinging to her girlish features, in front
Of her spectators, eagerly awaiting for
Her fumbling. But I watched the blues of the
Dreariest November leech the colors from her face and
Left me scrambling for meaning in her absence.
