Project Wisdom
Good day, Bessemer City Middle School. This is Ms. Heard with a
few words of wisdom.
Each time you listen to words set to music - whether that music
is country, rock, rap, or opera - you are listening to the words of
a poet. Poems express emotions like love, sadness, wonder, and
longing, and are a means of expression and self-discovery, a way
human beings share feelings and experiences.
Poet Robert Frost once wrote:
Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has
found words.
When our emotions and thoughts find one another and are
condensed into words chosen for their sound, rhyme, or rhythm, the
result is poetry. Reading, writing, and sharing poetry can help us
discover what makes each of us unique.
This week is Young People's Poetry Week. Find time to reflect on
what matters most to you - what you value above anything else - and
then commit your thoughts to paper by writing a poem. You may just
discover something about yourself you never knew before.
With something to think about, this is Ms. Heard. Make it a
great day or not. the choice is yours.
