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.
His Mask
He doesn’t like the way he looks
So he leaves his tummy empty.
He changes the way he does his hair
And acts as if he’s twenty.
He makes all his friends laugh
They never see him crack
But when he’s alone
Behind doors of stone
There’s more behind his mask.
His eyes are deceiving
And so is his act
No one would ever know
That he’s way more abstract.
His mind is a battle field
Where he fights everyday
But he’ll keep up his smile
If it means that you’re okay.
