POEM STARTER
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!
Roots
Twisted and gnarled beneath the
Damp, heavy earth, they stretch
Like claws, spread like a plague,
Seizing and squeezing the life
Out of anything in its path.
“This is mine now,” it says, “and I’ll take
Every inch of it. As I sprout into
A sapling, I’ll drink up every inch of
Light and water, and I’ll soar towards
The clouds like a rocket and leave
You festering in my growing shadow.”
