POEM STARTER
Write a poem about a messy room.
Whether literal or symbolic, think about what the messy room can tell us.
Guard The Queen
Things scattered
Cluttering around what matters
If only you could see
Past the walls that protect me
A toy army soldier
A castle out of blocks
A queen hides inside
Surrounded by spare socks
A overturned basket
With contents behold
An obstacle to face
For you to see past my mold
Tricks and turns
A maze along the way
A soldier on a horse
To lead you the wrong way
To find me you must look
Past the walls that guard me
Don’t bait me with a hook
And try to call me
I will reply
If you make it to me
A damsel in distress
Or a maiden scared of who will reach me
