Positive thoughts...

Spring finally appears to be here!
We talked about feeling positive at the writing group, about all of the things that make our lives good, these poems came as a result of our discussion and after watching a short film about tai chi.

Take a deep breath,
feel euphoric,
I have friends.
Breath out,
feel positive,
concentrate on my health,
know I will feel content
Feel secure because of family,
relax knowing that friends
make me joyous.

Take a beep breath,
feel overjoyed
I have my sister.
Breathe out,
feel happy
I have my dog.
Concentrate on support,
know that I feel safe.
Feel brilliant
because of going on holiday.
Relax knowing
my friends make me happy.

Beauty Queens...

Ali found this badge in an old jewelery box at our charity shop today.
Tonight's group was based around it, we talked about beauty and what it meant to us, about the pressures faced by women to look a certain way and about what REALLY makes people beautiful...

Ladies I can make you beautiful,
hide your imperfections with our brown glowing blusher!
highlight your facial features with hour summer shimmery poncho pink lip stick!
Feel good by using spring red sparkly eye shadow.

Ladies you are beautiful embrace your imperfections!
Your fat tummy!
Your gray hair!
Your sore legs!
highlight your talents,
You might be a good singer,
good at poetry,
a good writer.
Feel good by helping a friend,
cheer some one up when they are sad
and by being a good listener.

Beauty Queens...

Ladies I can make you beautiful
Hide your imperfections with our lipstick, luscious red devil and glossy!
Highlight your round cheeks with our silky soft sensuous blusher!
Feel good by using sultry powder blue Mediterranean eye shadow!



Ladies you are beautiful embrace your imperfections!
Your thick double chin,
bulging stomachs
and spotty faces
Highlight your talents!
Being kind and gentle,
Have a listening ear,
Being generous and compassionate.
Feel good by remembering that
You have a good family,
You have great friends,
Your phone rings,
You have a lovely Home.

Rainbow Boy Song

R: Rainbow boy is very fast.

A: and he skates and runs through crowds of people.

I: indoors and outdoors he saves peoples lives. In Xscape he is good.

N: Never does he a call on his medal.

B: Before he goes on an adventure he eats and sleeps.

O: On top of bridges he saves lives quickly and looks after Buster. He can do it, he is SUPER!.

W: Wish, wish, wish he could finish and go back to Mum at Cafe 16.

B: Be there whenever you need him. Just shout out loud.

O: Okay he is always having fun when he sees Bran and Buster run.

Y: You have no need to fear, RAINBOW BOY is always near!

Rainbow Boy was created as part of the Superhero work - you can see a photo of some of this work at http://we-are-artists.blogspot.com/

This poem is actually the lyrics for a song, it was written by a member of our Wednesday Club, working hand over hand with one of our fabulous staff. It was just too good not to share it with you all!

Ice Lights


Jade blaze fades
Glassy fusing blue
Glow ruby misty
flicker glint shifting






Ruby glimmer flicker
Misty fading flow
Blaze emerald hazy
Emanate glassy flood
Radiance blaze dissolve





Blaze jade ray
Misty vanishing blue
Glow ruby hazy
Melt glassy shimmer
Glint flood thaw
Vanishing glassy red
Green icy flicker




Royal shimmer flicker
Shiny fading turquoise
Glimmer scarlet opaque
Glow hazy melt
Gleam flicker radiance
Shimmer transparent aqua
Disintegrate fragile shimmer
Turquoise sapphire flood

These lanterns were made using the water left over from snow painting! We froze them in bottles with plastic cups weighted down in them to make the hollows in which our tea light candles sat. We were amazed at the colours in the photos! We used a thesaurus to find the words to our poems.

Talk to me while I'm listening....

Talk to me while I'm listening here
Talk in a quiet voice,
Like a snowflake falling to the ground,
Like a bead falling off a dress,
Like a stone skimmed across water.
Talk in a loud voice
Like guitars being played at a concert,
Like fireworks exploding,
Like lightning flashing.
Tell me your ambitions, your news, your problems
And I will tell you mine
While I'm listening here.


The photograph above this poem is part of the Light Graffiti project, as mentioned on
we are artists.

List of lovliness!

Try making a list of all of the things you
really like!
(You could cut out pictures and stick them on, do drawings, tell someone what to write or you could write your list down yourself!)

We bet that your face will have a big smile on it when you finish! Just like the one at the at the bottom of the picture!
and
If you share your list with someone else we bet they smile too!

My Marvellous Mum!


Let me tell you about
My marvelous Mum!

My Marvelous Mum
Is good at cooking
and cleaning the living room.

My marvelous Mum
Takes care of me
When I'm feeling ill.

My marvelous mum
Helps me with the things
I cannot do very well.

I love my marvelous Mum!

Tiny speck of perfection






Tiny speck of perfection
You are a book
Whose story is still to be decided
You are a tune whose lyrics get longer every day.
I am glad I read this story
While it was being written.

Snow Chunk!


Snow fell, thick and fast

now it's left a white blanket

over playing fields

we went out,

charged around, creased its clean covers

hand over hand pushing

up and down, round in circles

keep an open mind! It's not a snow ball, or a snow man,

it's a

SNOW CHUNK!
