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.)

Knowledge is power,
Compassion a shield,
Kindness a sword.
Beauty is a bow,
Liars your arrow,
Truth your quiver.
Candor is carnage,
Envy, self-sabotage,
Temptation a trap,
Because curiosity killed the cat.
This is what it means to be human,
In all its forms,
They way we fight the war of life,
The way our lives become lore.
We live an breathe
Stories and tales
And in the end
we are left to write our own fates
