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?

She Glares

The words don’t come The rhythm is off-tempo, Emptiness rhyming with pointlessness, A blank page, a blank stare, mindful aimlessness in the air. She glares at the pages so bare that no poet can be found anywhere.
