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?

Valentine's Day

On this annual Valentine’s Day, I will write you a sonnet. I will shine my love on you, As bright as a close-passing comet.

You asked me to show up, And that’s what I’ll do. I’ll do what’s uncomfy, Because I love you.

So on this one day, Of the three sixty-five, I will give you my everything, Till I'm no longer alive.

So on this one day, Appreciate the rare, To point out the obvious That I obviously care

Roses and chocolate I’m forced to waste money When every other day I just call you my honey

And that is enough To just be in love But today I will spend Go beyond and above

I love you my dear This day I do not I love you my dear P.S. you’re hot!
