POEM STARTER

'A poet is only as good as their definition of poetry.'

Use this quote to inspire a poem in any style.

Poetry ?

What’s the point

Of poetry?

I believe it is so

To play the firs

Upon the lyre;

To weave the grasses

In their emerald vine

With only a word, a line;

To immortalize

The well divine,

The florid rose,

A silver wine,

With only a word,

A sound, a tear—

Easily for all to hear
