what is a good and long introduction for my poetry speech?

Question

it could start with a question.
for example: which kind of insect do you like? well, i love butterflies and that's why i wanted to write about them.


btw: My topic is on friendship.

Answer 1

You should not need a long introduction for a piece of art in which you created.

I do not know the specifics as to where you are working at going with this, but I give this to you as help.

In your question you posted:
"which kind of insect do you like? well, i love butterflies and that's why i wanted to write about them."

Since you are reciting this, your writing skills will not be viewed, but if it is your desire to have a strong piece, then I suggest to you, instead of using terms like " that's" to "that is".

I would not ask the question. You are there to tell them!
Makes it sound as though you are doubting yourself. That never works in competition.

Just a few simple suggestions to an unknown path.

Good luck in your speech.
Peace,
Sam

Answer 2

You could start by quoting, "I could write a thousand words and still not say a thing, or bleed a few well written lines and change your life forever." Then say, "A book about true friendship may with pages fail to say, what a few well written lines, well said, may in their time convey"...then launch directly into your poem about "friendship".

good luck...the quote is my own.

Starting with a question always works.
