POEM STARTER

Write a poem about something a young child wants very badly but cannot have.

Consider your language use for the chosen age of the child and choose a specific style of poetry that would be suitable for this prompt.

the pool

clasping her hands

the child prayed

not for peace or love

but for something only a child would seem to want

desperately, hungrily


before the world caves in and the child wants something less


imagining the crisp water and the splash of its waves

she begged,


dear god

hallow be thy name

please give me a pool

it would be so cool
