The notes I got given to create my dramatic monologue:
- Age: 54.
- Gender: Female.
- Has only one child - Son.
- Son wants to go to Uni - Mum won't let him.
- Mum won't let him go anywhere.
- Thinks everything is dangerous.
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 on the mind of a protective parent.
The mum will always see her son as a 'little boy' who will never grow up and this is because of him being her only child. She doesn't want to let go. She doesn't want him to grow up.
This works well. I like the way you've used repetition.
