Let’s Go Outside

The typical caricature of a poet that pops into peoples heads is a person with bad posture, hunched over, sitting alone in a dark room illuminated only by the faint white glow of their computer and typing away, but it doesn’t have to be like that! Writing happens in so many more place than just inside and it certainly doesn’t happen alone. Walking together outside, the students took notes of whatever caught their eye to make outdoor list poems!

Things Outside! Isabella P.

a brown fussy squirrel

a huge space of dead grass

a jingle bell hanging from a tree

some weird green plants growing from the ground

a black & white feather

Outside Abe the Ape

scrappy bench
clinging christmas decor on tree
plastic scout sign
rock memorial
tall, big leafless tree
