Another Word Play

This following poem was written by Krishangy as a part of a wordplay exercise. The poem moves forward essentially with only one word as the last two words of the previous line are repeated. The first and the last word of the poem are opposites and are the subject of the poem
Ice - cream Disaster
Dream ice-cream maker
ice-cream maker cones
cones almonds vanilla
almonds vanilla ice-cream
vanilla ice-cream melting
ice-cream melting disaster
melting disaster wake up
disaster wake-up water
wake-up water head
water head reality

Out of the box

This activity was based on the previous works of the student. Aditi, one of the students at the workshop had written a sweet poem about Friends are Forever. At the workshop we discussed some radical thoughts and she came up with the following poem on the topic given to her
Friends-Hopefully Never!
Friends!please no!
I'd much rather have foes.
They may seem like they care
but don't get fooled!That's just an act
they aren't even concerned if you shed a tear
and that's a true fact!
People say friends are a must
But I say, they are just little pieces of dust!
All that talk about Friends being forever
but for me, Friends? hopefully never
- Aditi, Class VII, Sprindales School

Penwise or not

Hi folks
this is an invite to you all to write your heart out and share it with your friends. For starters let me publish all the wonderful work we did at the Bookshelf library this week. Keep those words floating in.
