POEM STARTER
Write a poem that includes the motif of masks.
A motif is a repeated but varying detail which highlights the poems theme, similar to a symbol.
Beautiful Creature
I ask, remove that porcelain mask
let your eyes reveal the tears you’ve hidden
shallow breaths from your pale lips
I wonder, have your emotions been forbidden?
This mask that you hide behind,
hang it up and let it dry,
you are a beautiful creature
and I promise to stay with you while you cry
