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
