POEM STARTER

Deep Roots

Write a poem about the importance of roots - it could be physical (like a tree) or metaphorical (like a character's upbringing), or a comparison of both!

Mangrove

Here roots reach the air

they cannot trust the sand

salt water would corrode

leave fissures in the spine


they take what sustenance

they can through

calloused tongues

pray in their complex mass

for kinder shores to grow
