BBC News at ten.

BBC News at ten,
here's the story on Ben,
'Just let me have some fun'
'Oh mum, I'm only young'

BBC News at ten,
here we go again
'You're just a little boy'
'What happened to your toy?'

BBC News at ten,
that's the story on Ben.

This poem was written when thinking in the mind of the protective parent. How you will forever and always see your child as young and vulnerable. The style of this poem is very childish, which i believe suited the message and story hidden within the poem itself. The poem is written as if you are hearing half of the argument and then flashing back and forth to how he has ended up on the news. The poem is very sad, how ever it proves that a over protective parent isn't always a bad one.

  1. This is a good idea. Your explanation is clear and you could always develop the work if you wanted to.
