A Minute poem for Day 4, Rhythm & Rhyme winter contest. |
Minute Poetry written for Day 4 of the "Rhythm & Rhyme" Poetry Contest in concert with the Talent Pond's "Winter Writing Warm-up." Minute Poetry is a poem of three 4-line stanza with a rhyme pattern of aabb. The syllable counts for each line are 8, 4, 4, 4. Your poem should have an Iambic meter--a pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables. I turned the damn computer on, I'm feeling wan. I watch in awe the screen's black maw. "You worked just fine the day before," I scream, I roar. I sit in dread, my wallet's red. Each day I sit before this screen, and wonder keen, Is all this worth, this cyber's mirth? |
