It's National Poetry Month in case you ain't attuned to that stuff. I had my students "find" interesting words, phrases, and sentences the other day when we went to the library. Basically, it's spine poetry...book title poetry. Today, I asked them to form dem kool words into a found poem. After a bit of struggle, here is the latest incarnation of mine. Let me know how ya like it.
Audacity: A Found Poem
My message to you, son
Dream things true
Jesus’ blueprint is You
Yawp your wild echoes
Along the edge of the sea
Across this frozen planet
Freestyle in the morning of time
Make cracks in the line
And dream things true
Have the audacity to make things move
Golden blood of my blood, it’s You
For the journey is the destination
And the unexpected everything is pure
Dream things true.
