Frisson of surprise
Cabal of secret meanings
Revelation of new worlds, explanation of this one
THIS IS POETRY???
YOU can join words, sounds and rhythms
experiment with the shape and form of words on the page, build and break down the parts of words
YOU can apply the familiar to the unfamiliar
YOU can make language a SURPRISE, and make it memorable
No subject is too small for a poem
No subject is too big for a poem
Delve into the world of poetry, make people listen to you, feel as you do, step into your shoes.
Please, share your "initial" poems. This is the one I wrote with you in class. (Do you remember it? I asked you to write a word for each letter of your name and surname, words that somehow "speak" about you)

The place where we live in
The spot we were born in
924,375,700 km of opportunities…
They say.
But is it like that?
For real?
I am young I know
But I see a poor world
Not just money speaking
Not just fancy cars or big guns
I see no future for many of us
Factories are closing down
Industries are moving away
I don’t see a bright future
But I won’t be one of the guys
Who accepts those underpaid jobs
Who works in ugly places just for a couple of bucs
I won’t be like that
I like to dream big
Like..
Imagine that they were us
Those dudes you see on TV
They’re famous
They’ve got everything
They did something with their lives
I admire them
They are those who all of us should be inspired by
Doesn’t matter if actors or athletes,
Chefs or dancers,
Scientists or tv hosts
They all passed through lots of troubles
But at the end of the day
They made it
And I will make it too.
