POEM STARTER
Write a poem based on a classic children's story.
You don't have to recount the story, but try to draw ideas or themes from it. It doesn't have to be based on a fairytale; it could be a Disney story, a myth, or even a traditional family tale.
Pinodrella
Everyone has a long nose
Some longer than others
Some shorter than others
Those with the long noses
Hope that one day they, that will become a
‘Cinderella’
They hope
To twirl around with their elegant clothes
And to be partnered with their wine glasses
So they lie
Their duplicity is their invitation ticket to the rat race of a ball
They boost themselves
Their ego squeezes their hands in warm comfort
Everyone wants one thing
The fairy godmother
They want a dream to begin all dreams
And so their noses grow longer and longer
And they cling to Ego
The Pinodrellas’ dreams
Begin
