Today we held a poetry session at the garden festival (plus some truly excellent music from [ʒtrɜːtʊls]]). We spent some time quietly reading some poetry to ourselves and looking inward, then created this shared poem as a group:
Poetry is…
Imagination in motion
Poetry is expressing the inexpressible
Joyful distraction
Snug as a gun
The space beyond fact (and my daughter)
Poetry is: The best words in the best order
[scribbles of a toddler]
Sombre street walkers & laughing cracks in the plaster
Poetry is an eye to the soul
Stories with my family
A bridge to another mind
Poetry is a gathering of minds, a party
A few stolen syllables wafting on the air (love in motion)
Poetry is a louder language for quieter voices
Poetry is noticing the birds
Poetry is… art in context uniting us
