Our pre-Spring break session was a chill one, filled with new poem drafts and an open mic session. Students were excited to share that they’d been working on poems outside of our poetry club, writing about a wide range of topics like love and loss. We were also joined by a new student who came in and immediately began sharing poetry her with us. After having a brief discussion about why we write, students wrote for a bit then shared their work with the group. Check out one of the poems below:
Hot Dirty Winter
Clothing scattered everywhere
Nowhere clean to sit
This is quite a lame winter break
I definitely will admit
I wanna go home
I wish I had a fixed phone
I have surely outgrown
this broken home
No money in my wallet
as empty as it can be
wish I had some money
For an uber to retreat
to peace.
