go where you are loved and appreciated.

Poetry Club spent a some time in this nice weather, then wrote poems where we imagined if the weather was indoors. (Thunderstorm in the attic? Tornado in the kitchen?) A prompt from moonlighthouseofhealing on IG. The ideas just flooded in! Thanks, poets! 💕HAPPY POETRY MONTH!💕

Poetry Club wrote after @Neilicorn's “OCD”. Beautiful declarations at the end, so we focused on that. See you THURSDAY, 4/13 in D-103! 🌸1 day to Spring Break!🌸

Poetry Club had a magical time writing poems after Aris Kian's poem "Take Up Space". Thanks for bringing this poem into our world, @wanpoetry!

Look at our poet shining!

Poetry Club has been writing!!! Last Thursday we wrote after Olivia Gatwood's "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" SAM VISITED US, too! I love our Poetry Alumni! This week we wrote poems after @kaysarahsera's "Orange". Then, talked about how every poem is a love poem if you look at it right.

Hey Twitter - My son goes to an expensive school and he's in band. The fundraising helps our family not have to pay for everything and if you know me... Financially, I ain't got it. If you like chocolate treats, by from this link. They will ship to you.

Poetry Club was amazing yesterday. We watched @HieuMinh's poem “Notes on Staying”. After we recovered from what it did to our souls, we wrote about great-aunts, our fathers, and friends we made in unexpected places. WRITE WITH US THURSDAYS IN D-103!

Poetry Club played with bubbles on this glorious Thursday afternoon. Then, we wrote love poems about what could have been after watching @RudyFrancisco's “To The Girl Who Works At Starbucks.” What a great day! Thank you, poets!

Poetry Club wrote after @EbPoetry “This Poem is about Joy”. Edilawit wrote the 🔥hottest🔥 line ever, “I found hope in the shape of forgiveness.” WRITE WITH US EVERY THURSDAY IN D-103 AFTER SCHOOL!

Wakefield Poetry Club wrote about finding our voices on Thursday after the STUNNING performance by @MeccaVerdell of "Duck You Autocorrect". We got a NEW POET, too! COME WRITE WITH US on THURSDAYS in D-103 after school!
