POEM STARTER

Write a blank verse poem on a topic that's important to you.

Blank verse poetry doesn't rhyme, but has a very strict structure which builds a melody through rhythm. (One way to create this is to structure each line with the same amount of syllables, and the same syllabic stresses, like you might if you were writing the verses of a song.)

maybe it’s the way you’re holding me against the waves of eruption or maybe it’s the stolen apple ready to end life timelessly there is a glowing sense in the lake the Apple floating alone down the stream glowing inside the water ready to explode like a Time bomb love isn’t ready for us yet level destroy us, and I am scared we will shatter to pieces. There is a knock at the glass and it’s very aggressive and I’m trying not to answer it. I think they found us. I think we’re going to die in the name of love. The glass cracked when you said hello to me, the glass shattered when you confess that you loved me. the glass continued to slice open my skin with every heart beat i feel my mouth speak saying that I love you too. And the glass starts to bleed, and its beating rapidly because the words you just said shattered my heart, turning it into glass. I cannot dance around us and so I let the glass bleed and my heart fight against me, til death.
