POETRY RANTS "Mortal men have always put the blame upon us gods!" Mortal men have always put the blame upon us gods From the Odyssey when Zeus catches Homer complaining
YOUR TOPIC What annoys you? Decide upon 1 singular thing Brainstorm a list of 10-20 specific details WHY this drives you bonkers Examples: girls going to the bathroom in pairs, people who can t line up at the bus stop, telemarketers, Mondays, the NHL lockout, those stupid tags that you have to cut out before wearing from new clothes .
TONE Decide what tone you want your poem to convey. How do you want your poem to make the reader feel? You might want to make them laugh at your misery, or cringe at your excruciating details. Refer to your tone list for ideas
DETAILS Choose the best details from your brainstorm list that you think your audience will enjoy and craft them into sentences to match your tone Example: "Airline Complaint," the writer states, "I constructed a stink shield by shoving one end of a blanket into the overhead compartment," which is a funny way to rant poetically about an airline lavatory.
WRITE Write your rant poem by stringing sentences from your brainstorm together in chronological order. Rant poems, like prose, contain sentences and sentence fragments. Make sure each complaint flows to the next logically, like sentences do in paragraphs. Break the lines of your poem where it feels appropriate. Prose poems like the rant don't need dramatic line breaks, as they read almost like a short story.
THE GRAND FINALE End your rant poem with the single most annoying complaint from your brainstorm list. Rant poems usually run from one to two pages in length. Have fun and get it off your chest!
