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.)
Star
Is it true what they say?
Do stars really burn up
the moment they reach
their capacity
Do they really give up
under too much pressure?
Are they truly that
weak.
So utterly
helpless?
Even when
their light illuminates
their surroundings
Even when
we rely on their light
to keep our own
Would anyone notice
If a little tiny star
faded away?
