1. to write "I am XXX" (any thing you want to be or want to speak in their voice. F.g: fish, eagle, seed... you name it.)

I am a seed,
That ‘s all I know.

A gust carries me
high and low;
A wall stops me
where I don’t know.

I wish to hide under the snow
for a chance to wait to grow
Till then who I am I could know
waving twigs in the morning glow.

But now I am a seed,
no label, but a woe.
an orphan, maybe.
That is all I know.

Thank Ellen S. Jaffe's wonderful workshop.

All of us enjoyed and learnt a lot.

We did three writing exercises:

1. to write "I am XXX" (We could think anything... five minutes to write)

2. to write a poem beginning with " When I sit dow to write" ( 5 minutes writing)

We all shared our works and they were wonderful. Then we had a break. We ate Boston Pizza.

The afternoon we had the revision for works we did in the morning. Then we had another writing exercise for sonnet. Then we read out our works.
I did not read my Sonnet, since I only thought half part.

This weekend I will work on these exercises and sent a thank-you email to Ellen and Elka.

2.
When I sit down to write,
I think of you –
Words left to tell,
How wrong it felt.

In the dusty wind,
You knocked at a rock,
but no door was there.
A fish’s eye stared
into my drifting dream.

I heard what the sunset said,
reeds leaned to a coming snow.
Should I regret to leave
my heart alone,
behind the dim light cave?

Revision of 2. (switch the lines, it makes sense and end well)

When I sit down to write, I think of you --

Words left to tell,
How wrong it felt.

I heard what the sunset said,
reeds leaned to a coming snow.

Should I regret to leave
my heart alone,
behind the dim-lit cave?

Through the dusty wind,
A fish’s eye stared
into my drifting dream.

You knocked at a rock,
but no door was there.
