What it is all about

All the poems in the previous notes were inspired by paintings by Andrew Wyeth, whose reproductions we looked at in class. My students worked in groups and wrote poems in which they had to include five words they had picked at random, from papers I had maliciously prepared for them.

Untitled

Don't let yourself be chained up by darkness !
Open your eyestowards new horizons.
Can you see how the world is fascinating ?

Don't think about the intrusive loneliness !
You felt when your peered outside.
Would you like to go for a walk through the trees ?

Don't lock yourself in sadness !
See the clouds covering freely the sky.
Can you feel the wind of liberty ?

Don't let hope leave you !
Follow its way, your pain will abate.
Would you like to go outside and discover it ?

To do so, you'll habe to step forward.
