In Year 5, this week we wrote atmospheric Victorian poetry about the workhouse. Below is Leo's entry from 5E.
In the workhouse of despair,
Where the rags that
scratch are what you wear,
A petrifying place you
can scream,
It’s as punishable as
it seems.
Horror, terror, screeches
and shouts,
The workhouse of heart
broken glares,
Not difficult to find,
they’re certainty not rare,
The cops will find
you, so take care,
Where you hide…
Your poem gives a clear insight into life in a workhouse. I particularly like your use of metaphors. Well done.
