| "Today" This is a form poem. For my poetry class we had to write a poem with a certain rhyme scheme (I used aabb...) and syllabic pattern (8 syllables per line with a certain pattern of emphasis). |
| What do I have to do today Is this a place where I must stay I feel like crap and need a shower I want to feel a kind of power I need a point to my life I also need kids and a wife My bones and soul are giving out What is behind my cloud of doubt I want a niche from which to start before my life just comes apart What do I have to do today This isn't where I want to stay |
