Deep Roots
Write a poem about the importance of roots - it could be physical (like a tree) or metaphorical (like a character's upbringing), or a comparison of both!

Bright green leaves with drops of dew
The branches swish with the breeze around you
A long sturdy trunk, holding it tall
Through spring and summer and winter and fall
Deep beneath the ground
If you dig is found
An upsidedown forest like a reflecting lake
Except none of this haven is fake
The soil protects the trees knees
From the dangerous and swishing breeze
Stretching to lands just out of r...
We love the trees, we love their foods!
We love the trees, and even their roots!
But what ever will we do?!
When the roots are why we can never poop?!?
Oh rooooooots
Oh there’s roots.
Stopping up tha mane line for my boooke’s
I’m starting to sweat from tryin not to doo doo.
It’s hurting me so bad I think I’m gonna puke.
God damn those roots!
Fuck you!
I wished you would cut me loose!
Ppl are ...
Far above
The earth below
The leaves will blossom
And Some will grow
They let me live
For that I know
What it is
To be alone
Down below the roots run deep
In my skin
Your soul I’ll keep
Here and now
It’s where I’ll be
But a world without you
Is a world without me
I’ll learn to cope
To branch out and grow
But one things for certain
But that I’ll know
What’s done is done
Can’t take it back
I jus...
Roots are physical and elemental
Roots are special and essential
Roots tie us down to the core of our existence like a the fire burning at a sacred ceremony
Roots are serendipitous for our humanity and evanescence
When we take full control of where our roots may sprout and be fruitful
We find ourselves able to grow and be thoughtful
To the world and grow our limbs to be intertwined within...
If I had deep roots
That wouldn’t snap in the heaviest of earthquakes
I would be stronger than I am right now
The intense pain and loss and sorrow would be kept at bay
Oh, if only I could sway
If I were one of those palm trees, just blowin’ in the wind
I could believe in myself
And survive the heaviest of hurricanes
I would cry sometimes when I was in pain
But I could be able to get over it, if o...
The connections we make
Some shallow and some deep.
The ones we’re born with and the ones we choose.
Weaving a complex web of emotion and knowledge.
Some forgotten and some nurtured.
The connections we make
Can become more than we thought they would.
Taking time and effort.
Meaningful or meaningless.
Some scratching the surface of the expanse below.
The connections we make
Can follow us...
Logs don’t have to deal with fog.
But we do.
Brain fog, that comes with being a personified log.
Oh how I wish I didn’t have to deal with frogs.
But this is what happens when you’re a log.
Frogs leap, hop, and jump onto your beautiful brown ridges looking for a safe space to sleep until they hop onto the next log.
If you were to ask me, I’d say frogs shouldn’t even be able to hop onto one lo...
Running to the woods
Because I have no where else to go
Ever since this virus infected me I’ve felt drawn to the nature of the trees
Feeling the dirt on my feet
Feeling the stillness in the air
_It won’t stop _
_It won’t stop _
Roots growing through my skin where my veins used to be
Leaves picking through my scars
Soon I’ll lose feeling in all my fingers and toes
_The roots won’t stop gr...
I could observe my foundation, what maintained my whole being, the evidence of the passing of the years, what gave me strength to continue growing freely.
At my sides I could discern the ramifications of my decisions with their consequences: there were stronger ones, as well as more delicate ones, some were just a slight breeze away from falling into oblivion, from them emerged those learnings th...

Remember dialogue has to be between two or more people; it cannot be a monologue. Try to make it clear which voice is speaking when.
