KS3 English Homework - Black Heritage Month

As you know, this month is Black Heritage Month. Grace Nichols is a famous Black writer, originally from Guyana. Here is one of her poems entitled 'Beauty'.

Beauty
is a fat black woman
walking the fields
pressing a breezed
hibiscus
to her cheek
while the sun lights up
her feet

Beauty
is a fat black woman
riding the waves
drifting in happy oblivion
while the sea turns backto hug her shape

TASK 1: Read the poem two or three times, and think about the poem's message.

TASK 2: Post up your own version of the poem (click on 'comments' and follow the instructions), starting with 'Beauty is...' Think about the message you want to send through your language choices. Don't forget to put your NAME AND FORM at the bottom of your post.
