Verses that inspire

The students of the school “Sagrado Corazón” - Jaén, who participate in the weekly workshops of reading animation, applied a technique to create a new text: “tracing poetic structures”, and for this they used as a literary source the poem “Vengo” (I come from) by Alfredo Mires Ortiz, published in the book “Romance de la montaña”, (Romance of the mountain), page 44.

Our readers read the poem and then answered the question “And where do you imagine that you can come from?”, the answers were not long in coming: from a hidden stone, said one, from a green leaf, said another, from a volcano fire, said a third, and in this way they were socializing what their imagination dictated.

Then, they received the poetic structure that they were going to trace and the poetic results were interesting and praiseworthy.

Here, I share some of their productions: 

I COME FROM some rain drop.

FROM some sad cloud I come.

PERHAPS I AM a path without a road.

PERHAPS I AM a meaningless text.

I COME from some haunted forest.

FROM SOME part of space I come.

PERHAPS I AM a king without a crown.

PERHAPS I AM the light of my path.

I COME from a bird of hot fire.

FROM SOME purple moon I come.

PERHAPS I AM breakable grass.

PERHAPS I AM a blue meteorite.

I COME from some floating bubble in space.

I COME FROM SOME haunted house.

PERHAPS I AM an invisible wizard.

PERHAPS I AM a witch in love.
