Try writing a list poem.
What is a list poem?
A list poem is just that. A list of things. List poems first appeared thousands of years ago. The bible has list poems. Think of the family genealogy lists. Homer’s Iliad also has list poems in its lists of Trojan War heroes.
Lists are part of life. It has been used throughout the centuries to make an inventory of things.
A list poem can be a list of either people, places, things you do, items, even ideas you may have. It can rhyme, but doesn’t have to. Repetition is often a tool used in a list poem.
One thing a list poem is not is a random list. Most list poems are thought out and not just casual items.
The last item in a list poem usually has meaning – by that I mean it is often an important item.
With a list poem you are trying to get the reader to look and think about what is in your list.
Like a story there is a beginning and there is an end.
Keep consistency with the style and remember tocreate a parrallel structure with your words.
