On Saturday Mrs. Squires one of our school teachers took us to the Museum for an
Urbanlife workshop. Grace Taylor who ran the workshop was a great source of inspiration on writing poetry. I had fun learning about the "spoken word poetry". Grace Taylor recited two of her poems, they were very interesting.
One part of our workshop was writing a poem about where we are from. We wrote down words that describe our neighbourhood, putting it into a poem was a bit harder. This is my poem.
Where I'm from all you see people kicking back with friends friends listening to music
Where I'm from you hear birds chirping, seagulls screeching
Where I'm from you can smell petrol from the cars burning down the road
Where I'm from you can taste the salty sea
Grace Taylor encouraged me to write poems. I think you would like the Urbanlife workshops they are really interesting.
Nice work Raenan you have captured the essence of your place with your words, very clever. it's wonderful to hear you so inspired!
