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!

Who

Feeling stuck yet secure

Holding me up or holding me down?

How I yearn to wander

To grow above the surface of this place


Are you sturdy or weak?

If I stretch and struggle

Will you lend a hand or pull me

Back into the depths?


It is warm but devoid

Nourishing yet bleak

My soul is expanding beyond you

I must grow to know


Who I am.
