In the first week of our winter 2020 poetry class, we discussed what the Hands on Stanzas poetry class residency is (art class with words) and we can expect during our time together – creative writing, playfulness, and experimentation with words. We discussed the difference between the poetic line (a single row of words) and a storyline. We read, discussed, and wrote an I dream poem together as a class before taking the time to write our own wish poems. Each week there will be 2 poems from each class published to our Hands on Stanzas blog, and every student will have an opportunity to see their written work published on our blog in the weeks to come. Enjoy this week’s published poems!

I Dream
Daniel Delgado
I dream of babies doing flips.
I dream that people 12 and under would turn into peanut butter cups.
I dream I could walk through walls.
i dream fishes could walk.
I dream teachers were kids.
I dream of my permanent skin being purple.
I dream of having infinite money.
