What did you worry about when you were a child?
And what did you dream of?
How were these dreams mixed with films and books?
What item in a book did you most covet?
What was your secret dream?
Think about the characters and superheroes we see in films or read about books. What is the best thing about them or what do you admire about them?
Do you want to be rescued or do the rescuing?
Lorraine Mariner writes about a Beast in this poem. Her poem reads like a story, it is full of longing, disappointment and her own reality. Funny and beautiful in equal measure. We hope you enjoy our own stories of heroes below.
