Clever Creative Writers: October 2009
http://clevercreativewriters.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 26, 2009. Last week the students spent some time outside observing their surroundings. Every few minutes we moved to another location to gain a different perspective. Trees, houses, leaves, acorns, and all sorts of objects were studied. Then students created a poem inspired by one of their obeservations. The following are photos of students "observing" and three of the poems inspired by this exercise. Searching for something greater. Curious to see what’s to be found. Even in the night.

Clever Creative Writers: PROLIFIC POETS !
http://clevercreativewriters.blogspot.com/2009/12/prolific-poets.html
Monday, December 14, 2009. We have been quite a bit of poetry writing, so we thought we would share some of our recent pieces. Some will be printed so that you can read them as you scroll through our blog. Others will be linked because of length or format. Tragedy can easily fall upon a family. It may only take one single slip. A loss of balance. And I quickly immerse into the cool water. I scramble my legs. But they will not stand firmly on the slimy rocks. With no adults around. I had to act quickly.

Aiding, electrifying, prompting. Morning, work, mug, heat. Quenching, relieving, needing. Sweting, struggling, escaping. Poverty, darkness, liberty, wealth. Have ...
