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.)
Gone
My mother she is dead
Died lying in bed
My dad now is gone
When will he be back?
My brothers don’t know what to do
My friends are all quiet around me
I cut myself off for a time
But now I’m trying to be me again
My life isn’t the same no more
I don’t know why it had to change
But my mother is dead
And my dad is gone
