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?

What’s The Point

The dark, frigid waters

Are waters dark and frigid.

They’re cold, making

Them never warm.

It’s that way because….

Of something.

Since I was a whippersnapper

Ive known where I’m from.

That’s enough for me.

I mean, why do I have to express

Myself in this manner? It feels

Like I’m just making incomplete

Sentences to unclearly

Portray how I’m feeling.

Let’s be honest: most poetry

We call good would probably

Have been better written

With longer exposition.
