student poetry!

Read my students' poems! I asked the seniors to write a poem in response to "Cry the Beloved Country" and I was delighted with the result. After a difficult month, seeing the fruit of this exercise has given me "purpose again for my strength/Like the laborers returning to work from a strike" to quote David's poem. It made me happy that this assignment inspired Josh to put so much creative effort into his first poem and that it gave Shea an outlet for her spiritually sensitive observations.
