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?
Ordinary
There are some times when
words become tired,
their efforts redundant,
their meaning lost.
Then, I wish I could speak
with a common man’s tongue,
and spit the words into existence
plainly, without art, without
thought.
