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?

Poetry Blows

Well so. Here goes.

Where it goes?

Who knows.

To write no prose

I hold my nose.

Poetry lovers? My foes.

This stuff curls my toes

And brings me to real lows.

My reputation grows

That poetry just doesn’t flow.
