POEM STARTER

Write a poem using multiple rhetorical questions, where the narrator is questioning their own judgement or viewpoint.

You could use the questions to make the reader think, or to show how doubtful the narrator is of their own stance.

Why Is It?

(Not written by me, but by my friend Brooke, she wanted me to share this with the world so I did, enjoy)



Why?

Why is it that people think your not smart until your old


Why is it that people say you have to be popular to be bold


Why is it that people tell you not to worry about how you look


And tell you not to judge the cover of a book


Yet if your not smart, fun or cool


They treat you like and ignorant fool


And even if your pretty or fun


And you have a bright mind that shines like the sun


They think you to be TO bold TO smart TO pretty TO energetic


They are jealous and it is you they pick


To exclude, to make fun, to make you feel down


It is then that you feel as tho you should leave the town


WHY? WHY? WHY? Its all I want to know


Why is no one happy, and free to grow


Why do we judge and stare


Why do people judge us and act like a poked bear


Why are we mean to our friends that we love


Why do we act like we're perfect as a dove


Can't we all just be nice for one minute?!


But no, because we all feel the need to win it!


But life is not but a game to be won!


Its a gift and we only get one


Its not about being the most funny, pretty, smart, or cool


Why are we all being so stupid, like a fool


Life is a blessing a gift a grace, from the perfect being above


He's a spirit a father a son, in the form of a beautiful dove
