Poetry Feels Like Letters Dancing in the Sky –– Ars Poetica @ Darwin

This week the students wrote their very own Ars Poetica. Now quite a few weeks into their residency, its time for these poets to let us know what poetry is for them!

Poetry = Life
Ivan V.

Poetry feels like a song
of a connection the song is
that one man could change
the world. It is poetry.

 

Poetry Around
Aquetzilli V.

Poetry feels like a balloon flying in the sky
Poetry feels like the wind is blowing back and forth
Poetry feels like you are in love
Poetry is like getting presents
Poetry is like a friend with friendship

 

Future
Sean P.

Poetry is like music
and crazy words
and, and, like
a picnic full of
words. Poetry is
future and words
making a song of
words and sunshine

Poetry
Dylan D.

Poetry is like a raindrop falling from the sky
Poetry is like a ghost with no eye
Poetry is like a magic eye

Poetry feels like a ghost
Poetry feels like a candlelight lit with love
Poetry feels like the heart of light

Poetry is like a robot missing a screw
Poetry is like a diamond in the ocean
Poetry is like a galaxy with no stars

Poetry is my heart
Poetry is art

 

Poesia
Leanne O.

Poetry feels like letters dancing in the sky.
Poetry is a paper plane flying.
Poetry is like a sunshine.
Poetry feels like you’re having a picnic.
Poetry is like a castle.
Poetry feels like a playhouse.
Poetry is like a glitter in the sky.
