On the 6th November, we welcomed Stephen Murray to our school. Stephen is an award winning poet and founder of the website Inspireland. He came to the school to show us a modern approach to poetry and by using a series of exercises we learned how to use our experiences and feelings to then create a poem. We also listened to 2 poems from Youtube called Heartbreak by Emmet Kirwan and To This Day by Shane Koyczan. Overall, I thought this was a really good workshop. I found it really interesting and Stephen was really funny and could relate to what we were saying. I hope he enjoyed it as much as we did.
Below is the poem I wrote in the Workshop: What to do with a Spillage? People say not to cry over spilt milk. But, what happens when That tiny spillage goes unnoticed. Developing from just that tiny drop, To a trickle. From a trickle to a stream. A stream to a river. A river to an ocean. Do we stay quiet, pretending everything’s ok Drowning in that ocean? Or do we talk and come up for air? Letting it out, Talking it through. Cleaning up that spillage. One drop at a time. |
