SCRIBBLED BLUE DREAMS REFLECTIONS





Young as you are
live life
speak up
find a reason to laugh
be a musician
open their minds 
and hearts

Young as you are
stand up
follow your dreams
when life is hard
and it's WWII all over again
Think positive about tommorrow
life is a mystery 
Do you hear the beat?

Young as we are
we cry in silence
too many deportations 
educate people
educate yourself 
bold

Young as  you are
What you think matters
do your thing
the only way out is the way through
don't judge my life
imagination runs faster than shadows
We can change the world.

Literacy Arts '09

I learned that there is more to tape.  A.D.

 

I learned that in poetry you can never be satisfied with a first draft.  You have to put as much time and effort into it as possible.  I’ll remember that every time I write a poem.  J.P.

 

Poems don’t have to rhyme-it just has to come from your heart.  T.M.

 

My favorite thing about the residency was the idea of expressing one’s self through poetry and hearing the different voices in each poem. You can make anything out of something. A.R.

 

I couldn’t cut the tape at first but then when I learned the skill, I couldn’t stop cutting tape. M.Y.

 

I learned that art/reading is not what others think but what you feel.  P.L.

 

I really enjoyed doing things I had never done before.  I learned a part of myself that is poetry because I realized I’m a good writer. I remember when I mixed my poem with the other student, we put it together and we shared our thoughts to make one beautiful poem.  I’ll use this residency outside of the school.  I’ll buy tapes of many colors and I’ll decorate my t-shirts.  I learned how to be creative doing just simple things. O.Z.

The first thing i remember is the first i come here and i hard we had to write our own poem, i didn't knew what to write or what to do, but than someone told me poem comes from your is not something wrong or right you just write what comes to your hart. This helped me learn how to write a poem and how to put words together,and i will do this experience outside the school.
