POEM STARTER
Write a poem only using plosives.
Plosives are words that start with (or mainly contain) the letters p, d, g, b, k, and t. These words are more forceful when spoken out loud. An example: Purple planes blow through towers.
Taking Power From His Fists
She talks to the ground.
He digs her a ditch,
Pushes her in
And backs out quick.
She cries quiet on her own
As he laughs out loud,
Talking for the world
To hear every sound.
Power to the rich,
Who doesn’t walk on her ground.
Power to the tough,
Who never back down.
She lifts up her head,
From down in the ground,
Power in her fists,
She wants to punch it out.
He takes out his fists,
As she lifts from the ditch
And they rumble and they tumble
Until the power has been played
In favor of her day.
