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.)
You And I
I need to get these feelings off my chest
Time has passed and now I have moved on
But faint memories and good times linger
We are different, and yet somehow the same
I used to love you, you used to love me
Now we just text occasionally
We used to be close, now we are distant
It feels right and wrong at the same time
You have changed, I have changed, time changes us all
I do not want to fall into this trap
Where I start to feel for you once more
Time has made me safe, and it protects me
You and I are bonded, but not like before
