Collaborative Poems

I love this part of my workshop process, when I have been working alongside participants engaging creatively together with natural objects. We share our thoughts, reflections and responses and make a collaborative poem.

This one is from Shropshire Supports Refugees’ volunteers responding to sea shells, borderless, unbounded and found :

Seeds, pearls, beginnings of treasured love, change you 

Evolving, complex, disjointed, unknown. 

Swoosh, dripping, organic, natural ridges. 

Borders, discover home, one life, a social echo, identity

Integrity an allegory as actor artist, to tell stories.

I’d be interested to know if it resonates with anybody who wasn’t there….
