Example
excerpt from “An Appeal to Women” by Sarah Louisa Forten:
Oh, woman, woman in thy brightest hour
Of conscious worth, of pride, of conscious power
Oh, nobly dare to act a Christian’s part,
That well befits a lovely woman’s heart!
Dare to be good, as thou canst dare be great;
Despise the taunts of envy, scorn and hate;
Our ‘skins may differ,’ but from thee we claim
A sister’s privilege, in a sister’s name.
Prompt
Like Forten, take a cause you are passionate about, and write a poem using rhymes as an appeal.
