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.
