First of all, read (without listening to) this poem by Liz Berry. Then listen to her read it. There’s so much to be taken from this poem… it’s inventive, it mixes colloquial with ordinary language, it takes flight.

Take, as your starting point, the first three words of her poem – ‘When I became’ – then see where it takes you. Be inventive. Use surprising language.
It sounds interesting, Robbie!

Fabulous poem. And what a delight to hear it read by Liz. Makes me realize, I’ve a long way to go, but I’m excited about the journey!
Liz Berry’s piece of work was great, Robbie!
