Poetry 101
From the beachy shores, we can contemplate the droplets, their multitudes, or the reflections they hold, but words alone can never express the natural wonder of water.
Through poetry, we evoke the feeling of the beach, in a way that’s special for the poet and the reader.
Or, we will. But, hang on! We’re just getting started.
Our Sweet Beach Dreaming started at Lost Lagoon where the kids kept eyes open for alliterative angles for all our endeavours.
Our letters of the day were L, B, and R, and hunting for words that begin with those letters, and learning the sounds, kept everyone focused on the scenery – all the way downtown.
“Roses starts with “R”” Makena calls out. So we stopped to smell some along the way. 🙂
Working our way through the weeks, we’ll cover rhyming, rhythm, and repetition. With the basics under our belts, we’ll foray into the feelings, colours, and sounds that combine to make beautiful poetry.
That’s what we’re doing this summer at the beach.
That, and climbing. It’s a fieldtrip program, after all!
It runs every Friday through July and August, from 1 – 5pm. Join us for our poetic adventures!
