Hunger Games Poem

I haven't been writing a lot because of school but I thought I would write about the new movie The Hunger Games. I saw the movie and I LOVED IT. The movie is science fiction and it's like the show Survivor but for The Hunger Games you have to kill everyone to win the game. I wrote a poem about The Hunger Games when I was just messing around and listening to a song called Safe and Sound by Taylor Swift from the Hunger Games soundtrack.

(Safe)
I have nothing to fear
Nothing to hide from
The walls will crumble
I'll step out into the light
Lowering my weapons

I have nothing to fear
Nothing to hide from
The shaking
The trembling 
Will stop

I have nothing to fear
Nothing to hide from
The yelling will end
The harsh word will disappear
Never to be seen

I have nothing to fear
Nothing to hide from
I have no reason to cry
No one can hurt me
No one can touch me

  1. Can I share this poem with my middle schoolers? I teach in El Cajon California and we just finished reading this book. I would love students in my class to write poetry in response to the book, and this would be a great example.
    Thanks,
    Mrs. Ilko

  2. Ana - this is such a lovely poem! I'm so glad you're stretching your wings and posting some poetry here!
    I am in awe of people who can listen to music and write. I have to have my writing space totally quiet. It's funny how all writers are different, isn't it?

  4. Love it! Great response to the book/movie...in poetry! How are your "give me a word to write from" poems coming along? Maybe we'll see some of them here, too? :-)
