Stirring the Sky We asked the children to break up into groups of two or three and to write a poem together. The theme was stirring the sky and the idea is to have one child write a line and then the other, and to continue alternating until the poem is complete. This is always fun as you never know where the poem will take you! The following poems are the weird and wonderful results of that exercise. Stirring the sky Stirring the sky squishing the moon touching the sun feeling the stars reaching for hope hand in hand we will be together forever and ever. ~ composed by Equity Sorinha, Cyra Smith, and Syana Fawks Stirring the sky I was at my house on Saturday. I found a great recipe, the first ingredient was to put a cup of milk in it. So I did, then it said to get butter and clouds and mix it. A few minutes later the sky started turning. It was like a tornado it was horrible. I was trying to stop it by hand then I remembered I could use a stick to calm it. So I moved the broom stick and it was like stirring the sky and it went all away. The End ~ composed by J and E Stirring the sky Stirring the sky in a barn so high with the moon as my guide. Oh this is the night I can not lie for this night my soul shall die. My penalty is for the crime I did not commit with the sun as my light and the wind as my strength I shall step forth to the guillotine I look at the block that so many heads have rolled off But not today, today an ancient soul shall be blessed to the sun, the moon, and the sky. I only hope that he who committed this crime shall fall in the darkness below so the fire talks fold and burn for eternity. I rise up through the clouds look back at the earth from a bird’s eye for the life I could have had and could have lived. ~ composed by Diva and Christie Bliss Stirring the sky Stirring the sky With a wooden spoon In a big pot With not much room For the sky to spin Beneath all the earth sun a devilsih mixture With an angelic sent Is not much to be kept In this big pot Which started with the sky It was rainy outside and that is the story or stirring the sky. ~ composed by Heather and Natasha Stirring the Sky Sitting on a cloud there was an angel named Anna. she was a very pretty girl. Unfortunately she was murdered at the age of thirteen. She had long blond hair that reached her waist and big blue eyes. Although she liked heaven she wished to live on earth. She opened the golden gates to heaven every day She wished to have one of the most important jobs in heaven STIRRING THE SKY. Stirring the sky is when you receive a Golden spoon from God to keep the clouds moving. The next day she got a message from God that she had been promoted to be a sky stirrer, she did not hesitate to take the job and from then on she stirred the sky! ~ composed by Ocea, Shopie, and Neliy Stirring the Sky The sky was turning around and around and around. As if someone was stirring it. Great ripples formed and as they reached further and further away from the middle they disappeared. I’m gifted because I can make the sky spin and spin. The stars are all in a jumble yes they are. All of them in a mix. They were being made into soup. But now they are gone. Into my tummy, yummy yum! But I have no more sky to stir; it’s all in my tummy, yummy yum yum! Ha ha ha! I like soup. Soon the sky is gone, nothing to see, just blackness, but now the sky is in Me!! ~ comoposed by Maurla, Aisha and Willow More to come.....visit this page again for an update!
