POEM STARTER
Submitted by Nicholas Rock
'A poet is only as good as their definition of poetry.'
Use this quote to inspire a poem in any style.
If Poetry Were A Person.
If poetry were a person,
they would walk into walls,
Their attitude would worsen,
With each new fall.
“I was lost in thought
About my breakfast haikus
Now I’ve miscounted!”
Looking for hours at the clouds,
A walking disaster of long words,
Terrible at silence as they think aloud.
Eternally sorry for not being an early bird.
Despite the jumbled mind,
Ask a question and the answer they’ll find.
They always find
The right words
For all emotions
Even if
It takes them
A while.
The word from the tip of your tongue,
Listens to every song sung.
Finds rare perfect words that fill your lungs…
Until a poem is carefully strung.
(Difficult to write this one - I have a small wrist sprain so sorry for any writing quality drop over the next week 💛)
