POEM STARTER

Write a poem using multiple rhetorical questions, where the narrator is questioning their own judgement or viewpoint.

You could use the questions to make the reader think, or to show how doubtful the narrator is of their own stance.

Daily Struggle

What should I do today?/

I could be productive, or give myself a much needed break/

The latter would be much needed, but I fear I would curse myself tomorrow/

So if I decided to be productive, in which way shall it be?/

I could focus my time on work, which would result in monetary gain/

Money is nice, but to be honest, a very small concern/

What if I focused more on being creative?/

I could write a song, or paint a picture/

That would satisfy my soul/

But what if the inspiration does not arrive?/

It could result in a day wasted/

Again, I would curse myself tomorrow/

Taking care of my health is always a positive choice/

I could start with some yoga, followed by a balanced breakfast/

Later on, I could suit up and catch some waves/

But what if the wind levels are high, and the swell is absent?/

I could pack my runners and be ready for a run/

But my legs are sore, and it’s beginning to rain/

Why do I constantly come up with excuses?/

The resistance always finds a way into my space/

How do I lock that door forever?/

The morning struggle never seems to leave/

My determination and drive is what varies/

Will my mind overcome the submission of my body?/

Will I conquer the internal struggle and march forward?/

It’s already 10 o’clock/

Before I know it, it will be noon/

I’ll start with a cup of coffee/

And listen to some tunes/

Soon I’ll get pep in my step/

And get going about my day/

I’ll be on a roll and look outside/

As the sunlight fades away/

Another day conquered/

Another day gone/

Tomorrow I shall wake/

To a breaking dawn/

Will resistance beat me?/

Time will tell
