Of Mice and Men Poetry

Britney and Phoebe recently created a poem based on the theme of 'loneliness' in Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men.


Sense of Loneliness- Crooks

A little shed in the distance,
That leaned of the wall, a
Little room was a square
Four- paned walls.
Nobody got any rights in here but me,
So stay out and leave me be.


You go and get outta my room,
I ain’t wanted in the bunk house,
Nor are you!
They play cards in there,
But not me, maybe
Because I’m black that was meant to be.


If you want to have a go at creating a poem like Britney and Phoebe's try choosing key vocabulary from a page in your novel and including it to describe a character or a theme!
