Hello again! Last week’s session was a tender look at what’s been occupying our minds and hearts lately. After sharing some words of wisdom to our past selves, we watched a performance “Thinking About You” by Mike Taylor. Students talked a bit about how much they enjoyed the poem and the wealth of similes it gave the listener. We also talked about Mike’s performance style and what we could learn from him as we think about how we read our poems aloud. Finally, we wrote poems about people or things we can’t get off our minds. As we build our performance skills, students will be sharing recordings of their voices for the CPC community. Check out a student poem below:
Thinking About You
by Isis R.
Your smile is so bright
like the sun
On a warm
spring day
Your laugh is like
music on a
gloomy stormy
night
Your hugs are so warm
like a cup
of cocoa
on a cold, snowy night
Our conversations
stay on my mind
like a never ending
record stuck on loop
The thought of you
is like the light
in a never ending
darkness
Your voice is
like a soft melody
in a slow dance
So romantic, so slow
You are so sweet
like a strawberry cake
decorated with the freshest
strawberries, handpicked by
the best people
Your love is like
a rare kind of stone
found in the deep
mountains, so hard to find
I want to be with you
like glue wants to stick
to paper
Never wanting to let go
I love you so much <3 <3 <3
