POEM STARTER
Write a 'golden shovel' using a line from an existing poem that you enjoy.
A golden shovel is a poetic form in which the last word of each of your lines is taken, in order, from a line of another poem. Look at some examples and then have a go!
Nobody
(Referencing the first nine words of my favorite Emily Dickinson poem)
Into the void again! And I'm
So certain I am nobody
So certain none will ask me who
I am or what I want. There are
A million somebodies for you
To waste your time with. We are -
Us nobodies, I mean - no use to you.
You know it, when you meet a nobody
And if you don’t, then you might be one, too.
