• Main Street Drop-in Poetry: Night Time Sky

  Date: 2010.11.22 | Category: client writing | Response: 0

  

  For a cold winter evening like tonight, some night-time poetry from one of the people we support is always the best.

  Night Time Sky

  Night butterfly flew frantic
  Peach tree sky, delicate diamond stars rose
  Moon cat bounced onto the front porch, singing
  Tractors out in the hayfield, farm hat beneath
  Night chickens hatching eggs

  - Ken Pagani

  The poetry written from the people we support is always inspiring, and are exemplary of an individual’s abilities.

  Today we have poetry from Johnny Mah and Kathy Hockman (respectively), from our Adult Services, Main Street Drop-in:

  Silent Song
  Diamond time sing green wind
  Rose spring moon
  Turtle silent twirl
  Forest vision

  

  Sunshine
  Please honey song
  Joy sun love
  Picture peace bubbly pink flowers
  Kindness

  Here’s some more fantastic poetry from Kelly Sutherland again, one of the amazing people we support. It’s always great to be able to showcase the potential in the people we support. Poetry is just one of many talents.

  

  Pretty City at Night

  Earth ocean river streams
  Green forests, glassy sand
  City’s wet licking of water
  Pretty twinkling gorgeous night

• Poetry From Our Main Street Drop-In

  One of the activities that the people we support commonly enjoy at our Main Street Drop-In is writing poetry. Today’s poem is titled Bubble Bath and comes from Kathy.

  Happy song fresh foam, clean beauty
  Soft bubbles show bright skin, feels funny pink
  Diamond water song, truth come home
