PROMPT 1:  

Write a Poem.

RESPONSE:

Here's a poem for you:

Echoes in the Wind

In whispers soft, the wind does speak,
Through fields of gold, past mountain’s peak.
Carrying dreams on silken breeze,
Dancing lightly through the trees.

Stars above begin their glow,
Mirroring hearts that ebb and flow.
Secrets woven into night,
Stories told by pale moonlight.

Gentle rivers softly sigh,
Reflecting worlds within the sky.
Moments pass, yet linger near,
Memories held forever clear.

Time moves on, yet moments stay,
Echoes guiding us our way.
Listen closely, you will find,
Life’s sweetest truths within the wind.

 

PROMPT 2:

Write a poem about speed, it should make references to train journeys, car races and galloping horses and other similar fast events and objects. The audience for the poem will be 10–14-year-olds, English speakers, living in a big city. The poem should contain four verses and have a strong rhythm.

RESPONSE:

The Speed of Dreams

Zooming past, the city lights,
Racing cars through neon nights,
Engines roar, the tires spin—
Who will lose, and who will win?
Round the corner, chase the thrill,
Speeding faster, faster still.

Clacking tracks beneath my feet,
Trains that thunder, swift and fleet,
Cities flash, they disappear,
Faster journeys every year.
Stations blur, we’re on our way,
Speeding through the night and day.

Hear the hoofbeats, feel the ground,
Galloping horses race around,
Manes like fire, eyes aflame,
Charging forward, wild and tame.
Leaping fences, brave and bold,
Stories racing to be told.

Skateboards glide and rockets blast,
Lightning strikes, so fierce and fast,
Planes above in endless flight,
Zooming swiftly out of sight.
Keep the pace, embrace the ride,
Speed is freedom, speed is pride!
