COMPETITION PROMPT

Write a poem that uses a motif of mazes to highlight a theme.

Keep Turning

Stuck inside this maze

You turn left and you turn right

Just keep on turning


You will get out soon

If you just keep on turning

Can you see the end


You can’t see the end

Why are the walls closing in

I said keep turning


Put your trust in me

I know what is best for you

Just don’t stop turning


You can’t take control

Going straight is a dead end

Why’d you stop turning


I won’t lead you astray

I have your best interests

Turn and turn again


Do not defy me

There is no easy way out

Do not stop turning


Give me back control

I own you you are not free

Turn back from the light


Sunshine on my skin

The voices have gone to sleep

No more turns I’m free
