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?
I Want To Write A Book
I want to write a book,
but I’m scared I can’t do well.
I want to right a book,
but who’s story do I tell?
Do I write of love and fairytales?
Or a tragic combat where the hero fails?
My story or theirs?
This plot or that one?
As hard as I try, I can’t make it fun.
I can’t find the story that I’m meant to write,
something within me knows it’s not right.
I want to write a book
but I’m scared what it may show,
about this uncertain kid who nobody knows.
