I am...

The twins had their first poetry assignment today.  They were provided with the prompts in red below and had to complete the sentences.  It's always a surprise to see what they write about themselves.


I am an artist

I wonder what will be drawn next

I hear in my mind what to paint
I see colors all around in different ways
I am an artist

 

I pretend I have another person’s style
I feel my mind give me an idea
I touch my heart to find out what I can do
I worry in many ways about my art
I cry to my art of how I feel
I am an artist

 

I understand other people’s style
I say that anyone can be artistic
I dream about my art
I try to keep my artistic abilities
I hope that I can do better each day
I am an artist.

 

 

I am a pretender

I wonder why I am here
I hear questions
I see laughter
I want to always be happy
I am a pretender
 
I pretend I can fly
I feel the wind in my hair
I touch the clouds
I worry what will happen next
I cry steady rain
I am a pretender
 
I understand I cannot fly
I say, “ I might”
I dream I can
I try to hope
I hope to try
I am a pretender
