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?
A Step Back
Rhymes and riddles
Thoughts that belittle
Overthinking simple things.
I thought so hard that my think stopped thunking.
It’s too deep, too deep.
Just take a step back.
