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

Having my feet truly naked

on the ground,

feeling the blades of grass

as a connection with the soil,

my ancestors live through me.


They were traveling in time through

the Egypt, the Mesopotamia,

the Balkans, the Mediterranean Sea.

I am traveling with them

as a nomad human

and a Gypsie carrying multiple origins.


I am looking for my land

to pass down my heritage, my truth

and that of my forefathers.


We all lived under the same Sun,

we all were raised up by the same Moon,

we all return to the same Mother Earth.
