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.)
Hate?
I hate the way
I hate you.
In the same way I despise eating
I try to love it so bad
But my patience is fleeting.
For when jealousy kicks in
All my admiration for you
Trickles, streams, then pours away
And once again, I'm demoted to
