Saturday Morning Poetry Group

It is always fascinating to see how a group of people respond differently to the same task. We are such a product of our filters, lenses and life experiences. One thing everyone did seem to have in common was wanting others to hear their poem.

Being part of this group helps me take time for reflection. For this I am grateful.

It was an active engagement prompt day. 1st we could, has a team or independently, compose cinquains (five line poems) using three different methods.  Results follow:

Water
is Life.
Sacred river place
Stand with Standing Rock
Protectors

Blood.
pregnant - winter
celebrating, abiding.  Holding
regrets is useless
Tribesmen

Forgone
Conclusion - No
Today we write five lines
To laugh. To Rhyme. To be unstuck
Gleeful.
