Alhamdulillah, another achievement unlocked! This term in English, we have been looking by the classic book 'Of Mice and Men' by John Steinbeck. It’s a book set in 1930s America, describing the life of two friends that are farm workers. My class enjoyed reading the book together a lot, and we’ve been set multiple tasks on this book, so as a grand finale, the teacher decided to set us a big task to round it all up.
Our final task was to create a piece of writing based on the book as a whole - we were given a choice between a review, an analytical essay, a composition or story. This was a big task, so of course, I wanted to make sure that I gave it my all! Then I got to thinking, why couldn’t I write a poem instead? It wasn’t one of the options that the teacher had given us, but I really love writing poems! Presenting my work in the form of a poem would enable me to give it that extra oomph!
So I asked my teacher whether or not a poem would be OK, and surprisingly, he told me that the format would be fine. So I got to work! The scenario was based on the end of the book, and my poem told the story of the events that I imagined would happen after how the book ended. Submitting the poem to my teacher, I was feeling pretty confident about it - plus, I was the only student who submitted it in the form of a poem! And so I waited until the day we got our results back…and I found out that I had been awarded an A+ for my work!
Alhamdulillah, I was over the moon to see that all my hard work had paid off! I was really pleased, both with my poem and the acknowledgement that my teacher had given me for it. Seeing his comments on my poem gave me such a boost of encouragement - as if me already being in love with poetry was not enough, now knowing that my poetry was enough to cause others to write such words about it overwhelmed me with even more drive to continue!
All this has motivated me to share my poem with all of you. I hope that you enjoy my work, and that it gives you inspiration to write some poetry yourself - in my opinion, one of the most artistic and rewarding forms of writing there is!
Love poetry,
