national poetry month

Conversation poems are just what they sound like: a poem in which one person is speaking to another. For instance, your poem could be a wife and husband speaking to one another, siblings arguing over a toy, or a father/mother speaking to a son/daughter. There are a multitude of conversations you could have in poetic form, and they do not have to rhyme, though they can. Here’s one I wrote as an example: Darling, I wish we could go out more. Honey, we’re out all the time. But we’re never alone, even in the store. I think a night in the tub would be sublime. That’s an example of one that rhymes, but here’s another that doesn’t: Give me that! No way, it’s mine, and you know it. It was never yours; you stole it from my room. Really, a My Little Pony? No way. Try your skills at a conversation poem and share it below in the comments.
