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.)
Cliff Of My Heart
I can feel myself slipping.
To familiar that’s for sure.
As if I was on a cliff
Resting peacefully on it
But I slipped and then I fell
Now I’m trying to hold on
On to happiness and health
But depression is ruthless
Took a break for a short while
Thought I was out of the woods
Now it’s hungry for some more
Just act happy all the time
Even if I want to cry
Can I clime up of the cliff
Before the roots grow too deep?
My poems will be better
Or maybe just more violent
To express my sinking heart
I don’t think I’ll clime back up
Before it pulls me back down
Im loosing my grip right now
