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!

Roots

Poetry

Depth like the ocean

Flowing through my veins

Strength of an ancient potion

Leaving me in chains

Haunted by the past

Upbringing my prison

Closing in on me fast

The realization has risen

There is no escape

Though I try many routes

My future is a constant shape

Molded by my deep roots

Since I was young, I would create worlds in my head and tell stories about the people I met. I’ve always wanted to write those stories, but I was terrified to start. This is me leaning into that fear!
