This year has gotten off to a great start!! Now that we have kids ages 6 to age 13, we are delving into new territory as we do all of our enrichment activities. We are so pleased to see our older after-schoolers taking initiative and acting as role models for those who are younger. Whether its at the garden when we split into groups or at Sixth Street during creative writing, we are continually impressed by them! Last week in creating writing we wrote about colors and the different emotions and associations they can evoke. From young and practiced poets who’ve been with us multiple years to very young poets who are just learning how to read and write, we are getting a new and amazing range of work! After every creative writing or art session we gather back into a circle and share. We thought we’d share some of our favorite pieces with you! Poem by Tatiana (age 13) Blue, the soothing touch of the ocean water gently tinted with light blue, The color of my mother's eyes, stormy blue, The color of the Sky my father flew across to get here, Blue, the color of me jeans that everyone compliments, The color of being sad and bad moods, But yet a color that will forever bring me comfort. Blue, The color I dyed my hair twice, The color of those Macaroons you’ve been meaning to try, The color representing blistering boys who cannot like pink due to society, Blue, The color that my lips turned after a baby bottle pop, The color of blueberries you’ll get while shopping but will probably not finish until the end of fall, The color of my blanket which keeps me warm when I can’t stop shaking, The name of that one colored pencil which turns out to be purple, Blue, The color which families have lost lives to from gunshots and feuds on the streets Blue, A color that represents more than you can ever think of. Poem by Seijan (age 9) red is like death and like hot sun melting you down blue is love peace and happiness purple is like sadness. so sad and so bored you will die green is like everything you hoped for gold is like richness Group Poem (ages 6-24) by Asha, Skyla, Mila, Jemma, Sofia, Myranda, and Laura Red is anger, Red is love. Pink is like a heart, Brown is a cake. Mint is my headband, Orange tastes like fresh juice and fruity tic tac. Blue is a wave that comes crashing down all around. Red is a rose. I like the smell and it looks so pretty. Yellow is a lemon, Pink is a pig. Green is a leaf.
