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?

Valentine's Day



On this annual Valentine’s Day,

I will write you a sonnet.

I will shine my love on you,

As bright as a close-passing comet.


You asked me to show up,

And that’s what I’ll do.

I’ll do what’s uncomfy,

Because I love you.


So on this one day,

Of the three sixty-five,

I will give you my everything,

Till I'm no longer alive.


So on this one day,

Appreciate the rare,

To point out the obvious

That I obviously care


Roses and chocolate

I’m forced to waste money

When every other day

I just call you my honey


And that is enough

To just be in love

But today I will spend

Go beyond and above


I love you my dear

This day I do not

I love you my dear

P.S. you’re hot!
