Our class's improv poetry from today's class:
I am an artist because if I wasn't...
...I'd still be where I use to be
...I wouldn't know who I am
...I'd be like everyone else
...I'd go crazy
...the world around me would petrify
...memories would be lost
Home is...
...wherever I am
...changing
...rocky
...my own
...where I belong
...freedom
...not a jail cell
...far away
In my world I...
...am happy
...have time for breakfast
...am a real boy
...am the ambassador of acceptance and truth
When I leave this world, I will make sure...
...I have asked a lot of questions
...I have made a difference
...that I have learned to play the ukelele
...that I sing for thousands of people
...that I do not regret having not tried something
...that I get published
...that my dreams come true
...at least one person remembers me
...I'd still be where I use to be
...I wouldn't know who I am
...I'd be like everyone else
...I'd go crazy
...the world around me would petrify
...memories would be lost
Home is...
...wherever I am
...changing
...rocky
...my own
...where I belong
...freedom
...not a jail cell
...far away
In my world I...
...am happy
...have time for breakfast
...am a real boy
...am the ambassador of acceptance and truth
When I leave this world, I will make sure...
...I have asked a lot of questions
...I have made a difference
...that I have learned to play the ukelele
...that I sing for thousands of people
...that I do not regret having not tried something
...that I get published
...that my dreams come true
...at least one person remembers me
Our poemmaking reminded me of ethnopoetics, (a method of analyzing the linguistic use and structure in oral literature such as:poetry, myths, prose, narrative, folk tales, ceremonial speech and other forms of extended utterances in stylized registers; it is description in a way that pays attention to poetic structures within speech.
