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?

Bad at poetry

Once upon a time

Is that how you start a poem

Or a fairytale?


Does it matter?

What am I doing anyway?


Does it have to rhyme?

“The rat and the cat, sat on the mat”

“Snug as a bug in a rug”

Is that a poem,

Or just a cheesy line


Princess

Dragon

Knight

“Thats not a poem”

Oh alright



Tears

Fears

Turning gears

“Are you alright?”

But thats a poem right?


Am I bad a poetry

Or just this poem?

Let me know

If I am doing it right
