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.

Now Now

My mouth spills water

My eyes lift up

To the very thing that seems to be calling me

“Now!” I say

“No.” They yell back.


I feel my juices boiling

in my tiny stomach.

Yearning for that sweet delight.

I feel my nimble arms reach as high as they can go

But they fail to reach the candy’s height.


Oh, woe! What should I do?

I want it now! Now now now!
