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.)
Sacrifices
I’m still alive
Today I’m smiling
But tomorrow I cry
The fall you took
Was to much to bear
Tried to turn you into a story
But there’s none to be told
You were a brave soul
Selfless in heart
Brave in spirt
Smart in people
You sacrificed your life
On your own good will
Decided to leave me
Left me with a card
But I threw it away in tears
Made a crack in the cement
waiting For you to come back
And play with me again
You knew what you did
But did it to save your
New friends you made
Now you spend your time
Alone without me in a
Better place
Always wanted to leave
Then found out life was worth it
But got injured in a fire
Saving a child life
Had friends whom
Made you happy
But when you left
You knew everyone can
Be turned into gold
You been a human
To a dog
To a human again
You were always a serious person
But you died to protect me
You went into the veil
That is like a gate
Now your soul is gone
Behind the mist
I still see you when your gone
But you shouldn’t have died for me
You all knew what you did
It was to save the world of the bad
You knew the cost
But came to accept it when
You had to make a choice between
Life or death but you all chose death
To let the people you love survive the war
You are all battling for a greater world
