Hi! Thank you for your attention and participation and enthusiasm yesterday. You guys rocked! I had so much fun writing poetry with you, and I hope you did, too.
Here are the three group poems we wrote yesterday. For anybody reading this who wasn’t there, we worked on cinquains that were first-person from the point of view of a castle under attack (I tied in my recent trip to Scotland). These poems were written quickly in a group!
Session 1
I see
weapons clashing,
men running everywhere,
the blood of vicious soldiers
No peace
Session 3
Fighting
I see
rotting bodies
hurt or tortured people
dust in the sky or on the ground–
help me
Session 4
Attack
I hear
people charging
Tension hangs in the air
Charging, galloping, and screaming,
they fight
