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?

What’s The Point

The dark, frigid waters Are waters dark and frigid. They’re cold, making Them never warm. It’s that way because…. Of something. Since I was a whippersnapper Ive known where I’m from.

That’s enough for me. I mean, why do I have to express Myself in this manner? It feels Like I’m just making incomplete Sentences to unclearly Portray how I’m feeling. Let’s be honest: most poetry We call good would probably Have been better written With longer exposition.
