We are the Seeds: Exploring the Metaphor of Seeds with Poetry
Seeds are magical gifts from nature. Seeds are memories. Seeds are the future. We are the seeds.
Join us for an afternoon of poetry on the farm. We will explore the metaphor of seeds with a hands-on seed sorting activity to get your creative juices flowing. Evonne, our instructorwill lead us in reflective writing exercises and introduce us to the Haiku poem form.
