We have been reading the well-known poem "The Highwayman" and exploring the poetic devices included within. As part of our writing we have rewritten this poetic narrative into a modern day context. Enjoy the twists and turns!
After the hard night that the Highwayman had, he rocked up half drunk with a half bottle of whisky in his cut, broken hand. All battered and bruised, he walked up to Sky City in his ripped shirt and burnt pants. He charges in and yells, "Where's the lady with the white dress?" Everyone stops and stares. "What are you looking at?" he said in an agitated voice. The pretty girl in the white dress walked down the stairway, everyone stopped and starred into her blue, gazing eyes. He couldn't take his eyes off her. With his eyes still fixated, he said she looked amazing. She replied with "Thank you, I love you and I want to be with you". The Highwayman responded with his own feelings which were the same, adding in that he didn't have much to offer but he will return with anything to make her happy. At the speed of light he was gone.
