Poetry Workshop

Poetry is a world unto itself! Do we organise our art into an acrostic poem, where the letters at the beginning of each line spell a vertical word? Do we fashion our words into a meaningful shape in a concrete poem? Or do we let words flow unbounded, in free form?
So many amazing poems were written by young writers this week, under the fairy lights at Thrive.
This gorgeous acrostic work by Beatrice gave me the chills when she read it, a true sign of an excellent poem.

Another shadow appeared in concrete form, by Naomi.

I appreciated this concrete poem by Mine. Though I’m a big coffee lover, I certainly didn’t used to be.

This acrostic poem by Amani made me feel like I was watching them …

Some beautiful nature is described in this ekphrastic poem by Lola. An ekphrastic poem is inspired by a work of art — in this case a beautiful photo of a waterfall.

This heartfelt poem by Coco showed true wisdom. Real friends, I think they are harder to find in the adult world. We can learn something from this free form poem.

Let’s end with Jess’ sweet Haiku (Haikus have three lines, 5 syllables, 7 syllables then 5).

These poems truly moved me with their heart and insights. Thank you to all who created at Story Club.
