Poetry Written by Workshop Participants

This is a special collection of poems composed by workshop participants at the TIC Workshop “Building Creativity, Community and Character Through Music” on Saturday 3/6.

These were inspired by Chopin's Prelude in A Major, Op. 28 No.7

Enjoy!

The Mountain

Tip Tip Tip Tip Toe

Climb up up up High

Slide down down down Low

And Stop-and-Re-lax

~Dottie

The Pink Slippers

gliding

tip toes and down

quick – slow, moving around.

Breathe in – hold

then let it go.

Anticipate, feel

repeat again.

End with peace

before you kneel.

~Marney

Tender moments

in a lyrical way.

I capture the prize

but it is bittersweet.

I must release it and

find acceptance.

The loss still haunts.

~Nancy

Making Memories

life…

Finally, filled with love and wealth.

Our two lives joining as one.

How romantic life really is

life…

Making memories.

~Julie

Waltzing at the Shoals

Quiet voices – Seagull’s cries

1, 2, 3, 4

Morning chill to the air

1, 2, 3, 4

Freedom of pressure

1, 2, 3, 4

Skirts swirling

living for the moment

1, 2, 3, 4

Smells of coffee + breakfast

cooking

1, 2, 3, 4

Swirling in firm arms

1, 2, 3, 4

Waltzing at the Shoals

~Dawn
See Dawn perform her poem here:


Embracing

Light and soft

finished but not

peaceful, sweet

embracing.

Maybe goodbye,

maybe hello,

holding fast,

embracing.

~Debbie

Wedding Dance

Come together

Love, youth

memories, treasured

Special day

Happiness, excitement

Holding on / letting go

Love, tears

Embracing

Moving on

Wedding Day

~Sue
