Creative Writing
Please read these poems that we have been working so hard on
We plan to work with the Western Mountain Senior College Creative Writing class to accomplish at least one collaborative poem as a group. We also want to share some of our ideas for writing.
The creative writing group has met with local writers and poets, Jim and Ruth Bebko. They have decided to work on writing haiku poems on the theme of "a good day". These poems will be shared at the May 2nd event. This group is using Quotev.com as a tool to write collaboratively online. This is a free site that allows users to post online journals and share them with a select group of people.

We met our you ladies from Telstar
Who hoped to be poets exemplar.
They played with Haiku
As we seniors did too.
So hear our new products so far.

I get up so slow
The dew drops feel like heaven
Morning sun peaks out
School still feels boring
But my friends are still the best
With them can laugh
Walk into the dark
Listen to the warm breeze
This was a good day

Ana Rossow
Waking to the bright sun,
Shining gently through my window,
Covering the world in glow.
Jumping into the
Cool, blue water of the lake,
Swimming all day long

Jim Bebko
Sunrise over the ridge
Awake, alive, feeling good
A day ahead-plans
Sun at zenith
Chores over, hobby time spent
Brighten another’s day
Learning something new
Good book and music enjoyed
Some exercise too
Sunset over mountains
Pleasant meal, friend’s
conversation
A good day, good night

I run downstairs to
And find an awesome surprise
Bacon sizzling OMNOM
Friends are laughing
At the lake we swim
In the bright sun

A good day is great
Good days are so relaxing
A good day is nice
Good days are very amazing
A good day is calm

Mrs. Prescott
sun in the morning
windmills on the horizon
in love with Friday
neon yellow wheels
leather and laces tied up
rollerskate day dream
sneakers on pavement
moving, strong, beautiful
April ice can't last

Ruth Bebko
So, using Haiku as our way
With our poems we have tried to convey
That regardless of age
Be it, youthful or grayed
We just wish you a very good day.
