POEM STARTER
Write a blank verse poem about love – whether that’s love for nature, friend, partner, child, pet etc.
Blank verse poetry doesn't rhyme, but normally uses strict structure to build a melody through rhythm.
Hard Not to Rhyme
I love poetry and I like to rhyme
So a blank verse with just rhythm
Is not something I have ever tried
Still I suppose that not rhyming
Cannot be that bad.
Or maybe it can.
See what I love about poetry
Is more than just how it flows
It is much more than the rhythm
That makes it go where it must
Not rhyming is tough
On a rhymer like me.
So I must break out the rhymes
They are sweet poetry to my ears
Blank verse is something I cannot do
At least not more than three stanzas.
I love poetry
But I want it to rhyme.
