POEM STARTER
Write a 'golden shovel' using a line from an existing poem that you enjoy.
A golden shovel is a poetic form in which the last word of each of your lines is taken, in order, from a line of another poem. Look at some examples and then have a go!
Undeniable
To lose yourself is to lose a sense of “I,”
To mix a lot of what you think you like
With what you think will be the next big
Thing, to trade “yeses” for “buts;”
To strive to be popular and
Well-thought-of, you give away your “I;”
But you will learn that—over time—you cannot
Convince yourself, sir, that you must lie.
