What a cool few days we’ve had here in the ‘Power House’. Welcoming our poets has been a whole lot of fun with Kenn arriving first on Thursday night and Sara, Michael and Anis on Saturday. It’s been great fun talking creativity, poetry and inspiration with these lovely folk, and Hannah and Mimi got a kick out of having dinner with the Children’s Poet Laureate on Friday night. I also think Kenn got a kick out of being driven around a few backstreets, visiting temples and wet markets and taking in some of the sights of ‘real China’.
Tonight we all got together to discuss the week ahead and had some terrific conversations about poetry, publishing, digital days and more. I am lucky to work with such a great team who are always thinking of the best ways to enhance the literate lives of our students. Thanks Barbara and Tim for taking me under your wing.
Here are some poems I’ve written about Kenn, using his great blog as a guide to remind me how to compose a variety of poems. If you can’t write a poem after exploring this page… then you can’t write a poem!
There once was a fellow named Kenn
Who wrote poetry now and again
His poems were funny
And some made him money
He sure had a way with the pen
Welcome Kenn Nesbitt
We know you’ll love SAS
Thank you for coming
