It might be due to the fact that I've left it until the last minute, or maybe to the fact that I really know little about poetry, but I'm having a hard time. If given free range, I can write fairly decent poetry. Unfortunately, when faced with the task of writing an Old English alliterative verse, with use of a caesura and with four stressed syllables in every line.... I start to draw blanks. It only needs to be twelve lines... but I've been stuck on the first four lines for the past hour. Poetry is friggin' hard.
