POEM STARTER

Write a poem that has three narrative voices.

These three voices may be in a conversation with another, or they can be given separate stanzas. Try to give them each a clear voice that distinguishes who is narrating.

The Bar

Shaking from the core, her fingers struggle to find the keys

So much at stake, so many people she could fail to please

There they sit in rows and rows all dreaming of money and fame

If only they could see what it will be like to live in debtor’s chains

Every year they file in to this conference room to take that test

I set it up and clean it up, and I’ll be just another face they forget
