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.)
A Good Thing No More
I was always going to find my way,
For you?
I’m not sure what to say.
Sometimes you convince me your the smartest
The sharpest
The bravest
Most fearless person alive,
Into that I lean in and let myself get fooled by lust’s newest disguise.
I’d be gatekeeper of your secrets
Your exhibition of history that isn’t up for viewing
But you?
you’d hum my song
To anyone who would listen
A good thing no more
For you know not
What you have lost
But if you could buy it back
Would you pay the cost?
