As a class we went to Harpers Ferry and our only assignment for the day was to take tons of photos, a variety of styles, and take sensory notes to create a poem. We then had to pick one of the photos and recreate it by using a mix of teared and cut paper. To go with the collage, we had to write a 25-30 line poem and put all 3 (photo, collage, and poem) on a tri-fold board.
Here is the poem…
Time to come out now
Flowers are blooming today
Must try to find food
Discovering someplace new
Someplace no one else will go
Brave and daring now
Young, but willing to take risks
High above the ground
A better place to see clear
A place that will clear the mind
A chance of freedom
But protected by the chain
That keeps danger out
Keeping the world together
The brave and the adventurous
Upon the flower
The ant is above others
Who stay on the ground
Wind blows and threatens falling
Though, remains on the flower
Not willing to go
Knows that it is not yet time
Not today, but soon
Waiting for someone else to
Take their place on the flower
