BLT love collaboration! This is our current poetry collaboration project. We are asking people to add a line or two to poems thatjust have a starting line.
 
We would love our volunteers to try this one...

Poem 2

I give my time,
With Open Mind
 
Nothing expected in return
I'm here to help, I'm here to learn
 
If you tell me what to do i will obey,
I'll do everything i can to ease your pain
 
I'll share my time along the way,
Nothing to lose,yet so much to gain!
 
I'll stand in the rain
and leap across the river.
 
I'll be your barrier
and your Metropolis.

All you have to do is...
 
a. Read the poem as it stands
b. Think of a good line to come next
c. Fill in the box below with the details

Poem 1: Who Am I?

I am the last gorilla, silverback no more
I have been around, from the days of yore,
 
Left in the box, I am the coffee cream,
Unwanted, alone, but I'm not what I seem...
Lift the lid if you dare...
 
I am a blue whale, too big for my space,
I am a free spirit - I'll never know my place,
