POEM STARTER

Write a poem based on a classic children's story.

You don't have to recount the story, but try to draw ideas or themes from it. It doesn't have to be based on a fairytale; it could be a Disney story, a myth, or even a traditional family tale.

Geppetto’s Curse

I want to be a real boy

To feel a warmth in these palms

As my hands destroy

Ravaging, wrecking, devoid of calm

I want to be a real boy


I am telling lies by day

And I know you’re fooled too

With your slack jaw face, nothing to say

The only thing I’ve said that was ever true

“I want to be a real boy”
