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?
Words Of A Poem
May I write this poem in hate
For I don’t and never will
Understand how people create
And understand each concept
Of each word written
For each word
Has a meaning
A feeling
I can’t understand
Or like
Then the differnt meanings of poems
Makes it easy for me to
The rhyme of them scratches my brain
How do to people create such
Masterful worlds of art
While mine
Is just a tapestry
Of awfulness
A poem is to tell a story
A lesson
In words
A work of art
But one I can never master
For I try and try
But I can never make them
Like the theater
I try every day but can
Never master the skill
But it is to a skill to master
A it’s a skill to write a story
A movie
A tapestry
Of words
Of a poem
