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
