A Visit From Denise Blake
On Thursday the 23rd of January, we did a poetry workshop
with Denise Blake who helped us compose poems.
In the afternoon, she wanted us to study the different shapes and figures of popcorn.
She gave us a handful each. We started to look at some of them.
When you examined them from a different angle,
they morphed into something else.

We saw many random peculiar figures
such as a chef, an octopus, a cat and much more.

Denise said that this was to open our imagination so we can be creative
when we write our poems.
I found the popcorn exercise different and great fun.
Soon after she read out a poem called “My City”.
The idea of the poem was to construct a place that you would want to live in.
She told us that we would have to do the same thing but
instead we would have to do that with a beehive.
We could do it from the bee’s perspective or we could design it for the bees.
In my opinion I found the writing exercise enjoyable.
Soon after we drafted, we started another poem.
It was called “The Bees Poem”.
We had to write from the perspective of a bee.
It could be a drone bee, a queen bee or even
just a small little honeybee.
Our poems were then proudly displayed at school.
I would rate this workshop a 5/5 because it was different and I really enjoyed it.
How interesting to try to imagine what a bee's experience is like !!!! I'm sure the poetry writing was alot if fun!!!!
