A day to celebrate

The first Friday in May commemorated the end of my 6th and 7th grade residencies at Waters Elementary…how fast a school year flies by. 7th graders celebrated by writing a class exquisite corpse poem followed by an in-class open mic. And as we did with last year’s 6th graders, this year all three classes gathered for an-open mic. It was lovely to see how much everyone has learned about poetry, and a great reminder of all the stellar poems we wrote this year. I wish all the Waters students a fantastic summer (and one with a least a little poetry in it ⭐).
