Today we covered the syllabus. Then, we finished our blackbird presentations. Next, we studied sunflowers. Finally, we received our first homework assignment, writing about our reading/writing past. The assignment is here.
And here is a poem written by our class:
Seven Ways of Seeing a Sunflower
I.
Bright yellow petals, petals which
resemble fire in its full brilliance, a
bright yellow which fades into a
deep orange and into a black
abyss of which nothing escapes.
II.
Like humans, flowers are always kept and admired,
while stems are thrown away.
III.
When you look at a flower,
you think of beauty.
When you look at a sunflower,
you see something looking back at you.
IV.
For centuries, people thought the sun flower followed the sun.
But, maybe, the sun follows the sunflower.
V.
Yellow, green, brown, and black,
came back on Sunday morning,
and today the flowers are soaring.
VI.
When you smell the flower
the earthy smell kisses back.
VII.
A single flower left behind stays
put to fight against the wind.
