What the intercourse ? Poems?

[Daft Pink]

I have to write some poems to turn in to class next Monday, but I have to finish them like right now because I'll be out of town tomorrow and Sunday. Anyways, what I have left are poems on an Ancient Civilization that we studied, a free choice, Mother's Day, and a Favorite Activity. They have to be at least 8 lines, but here's the thing. I suck at poems. It's extremely hard for me to write a good poem. You guys have any ideas on what Ancient Civilization and a free choice I could write on? For the Mother's Day one, I'll probably just copy it off some card.

Man, I'd hate it if I had that problem.  I can't write enough poetry.  I can churn out 40-50 lines or more in an hour.  I love poetry <3

Our assignment is poetry as well, due the 15th...it's supposed to be 40 lines, but I already have over 70 and plan to write 30-40 more...

I can't even write one line of poetry. I was sitting in my classroom for 20 minutes and all I got was the title.

I usually save the title for last, because when I start a poem, I usually don't know what it's going to be about.  I just start writing random crap until it starts to maybe make sense.

OK, I'll try that.

Just write what will give you a good grade if you don't like the assignment.

That doesn't work with poetry.  You have to write it from the SOUL.

Do you guys know if there's any kind of magical script that can tell me a word that rhymes with whatever word I write in it?

FUCK! I needed something that rhymed with orange. And silver too. :(

Oh, and do you guys have any suggestions on what I should write about for my free choice poem?

You're weird.

Personally, I can't stand having a single poem of mine being over 15 lines. Even that is a bit much. Most of my recent ones have been 4-8 lines.

Why would you need to rhyme at all? If you're not good with rhymes, don't use them. I generally find rhyming in poetry to be highly pretentious anyway.

rhyme schemes add to the flavor in a work with a certain rhythm (not in crappy couplets), like sonnets.

Yes, that's certainly true. I however usually don't bother with creating poetry using strict meter like that, so rhyming doesn't work for most of my stuff.

I have a few exceptions though.
