View the Winners | View Poems by School Round 3 The world around us is the ultimate source of inspiration. There is ever an abundance of material for the writer to glean. Please respond to one of the following with a poem. Listen to a piece of instrumental music (no lyrics) and write a poem based on what you think the music is about or where it takes you. The music could be rock, jazz, classical, world, etc. Look at a newspaper and use its contents-any or all of it, including stories, ads, layout, personals, classifieds, etc.-as your source of inspiration for a poem. Ask an older person to tell you a story about his or her life. You might ask them to tell you about the time when they were your age. Or you might want them to tell you about something quite specific. Write a poem based on what they tell you. Inside Its all ok Although you say I’ll never see, Can’t try to be Torn up inside. When you can’t hide From the pain you feel When you have to hope Its just not real Stop and think Go link by link Until you can see Its not who you are Its who you can be -Amanda Bell, Socorro High School (Rating: 5.00) Read Reviews of this Poem Weekends Weekends are my rocks I jump from day to day And though I see them passing They never seem to stay The weekends I look forward to Beloved days of rest I cannot wait till they arrive, Their passing I detest And though the days keep coming, And weeks go marching on It’s the weekends that I’ll savor, Long after they are gone -Geoff Phillips, Socorro High School (Rating: 5.00) Read Reviews of this Poem Pages: [<<] 1 2 3 View the Winners | View Poems by School Webslam Home
