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
