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.)
The Cost Of Lost Civilizations
Perhaps
We lost more than language along the way
Perhaps there were other things that slipped with the words
Like the kinship between men
Or the safety woman once felt in the night
Perhaps as we became civilized
We lost something that
Can’t be placed into words
