A Collection of Poems


We've tried different techniques to try and access that centre of creativity in the subconscious. We tried a few Buddist breathing methods, resulting in my poems Unicorn Running, Slowly Walking and Blind. We tried mixing and matching a jumble of lines and words, and we chose to do the subject of Fall, which is what I decided to call my poem. We also tried just listening to music and writing what we felt the music was saying, what it felt like. I don't remember the names of the songs, but my poems are called Waves and Stars and Cat and Mouse. Then, for no particular reason, we wrote of objects that we found around us. I used a rock for the first poem, and called the poem SparkleWhite. Its a different style that I wanted to try, combining nouns and adjectives into new words and meanings. After writing SparkleWhite we were told to go out and find the biggest thing we could and write about it. I chose the trees across the field, and dubbed the result Tree Line. I intend to keep writing poetry after we finish our unit and I will try to post my work on my blog, but I'm not making any promises.
