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?
Hi
I absolutely hate love, why?
Because my mind goes completely frantic
When I want to say something romantic
I think of poetry, but my lips go static
My heart says “you are radiant, cosmic.
You’re voice a symphony, melodic.
Tell me your every thought on any topic,
I want to know you, down to the microscopic.”
But when I see you, I go blank and I panic
So all I can manage to say is “Hi.”
