Rowling Writing

The Rowling writing group have been learning about free verse poetry and looking at themes and messages in poems. This is the shared poem they came up with as a class today. Can you guess what the theme/message is?

"How do you know me?

How did you get my number?

Help.

Clouded by a shadow of words that stab me like a knife, covered in comments of shame. 

I cry myself to sleep as words spin around my head like a tornado.

Hearing bad words when I walk, why are you doing this to me?

As it hurts me it also hurts others.

I feel stranded on an island of bad words, people don’t care about how they use words."

By Rowling
