POEM STARTER
Write a poem about a person experiencing growing pains.
Your interpretation can be literal or metaphorical.
Broken Metaphors
It all feels very… metaphorical.
Now that I don’t care about my body as much,
I lose weight.
Now that I’ve made peace with imperfect grades,
She cares more.
Now that I’ve realized how much I don’t want to hurt myself,
Unintended injuries decorate my body.
I just hope someone gets to read this brilliant mess of figurative language.
I hope someone takes these themes to heart.
I hope someone sees this plot has a different ending,
Especially now that I’ve lost the words to write.
I hope someone will read
This beautiful
Broken
Metaphor of a girl.
