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.)

Scared

You asked me if

You had my heart

And cried when I

Said no


That was the last

Of all the lies

It took to let

You go


To tell the truth

I’d follow you

And I’m scared that

You know


I love you, but

I was too scared—

Too scared to tell

You so
