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.)

Plants, Poet

Poetry

I talk to the plants on the walls.

They hear my secrets passed through whispered laughs

They hear my prayers, my thoughts, my cries for your arms

They hear my tears for all that is gone

‘Your words,’ they cry, ‘tell us more, poet!’

Po-et. Poet. is what they call me.

And sometimes I wonder, if that is all that I Am
