06.10.22- World Poetry Day

Today was World Poetry Day and to celebrate we took part in a workshop with Mark Grist, a well-know poet, author and story-teller. 

More information about Mark Grist can be found here:

The poem is made up of a list of descriptions and each description only contains two words.
