POEM STARTER

Write a poem that centers around a woman.

The woman can be anyone you choose, ficitional or real. Is it a family member? A role model? Your favourite character? Or one of your own characters?

The Woman

She was perfect

The one they wanted to be

But should they make the price

To see what she can see?


To be different

Is that what we all need?

To pay the price

Only to have greed?


A perfect body

A pretty smile

Lures them all in

Within the length of the Nile


From our flaws

And our mistakes

She’s the maker

She’s the one who breaks


She’s the watcher

Underneath her own skin

The one who follows

Your never safe within.


Within her lies

They all get stuck

So, go ahead, pay the price

If you survive, you must have great luck


Her friends all say

‘She’s the greatest in town!’

When her real life

Is buried deep down


A fake smile she puts on in life

To see what they think

The wrong end of a knife

Is nothing compared


To the real horror

She is mere

Far down the list

She trembles in fear


Yes, she sounds deadly

A master in disguise

But her past influenced her actions

she moves between her lies


Help her if you may

Help her if you might

‘I can get you to safety’

Is the last thing you say


When you see her at night

Youll wish it were day
