Finally Spring

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

The spring will begin
And the flowers will grow again
Winter goes away

Freezing winds disappear
While sun decides to show up
No umbrellas now

Great streets decorated
And the flowers in the park
Spring is here now

No colds anymore
And spring break took place
At last some relax

People are happy
Going new places for fun
Spring fills us up

– Stephanie Hoi

From the 2007 WritersCorps book “Poetry By Numbers” at International Studies Academy

    TelltheWorld-small

    “Tell the World” is a collection of writing by WritersCorps students across the country. With a range of voices and diverse perspectives, “Tell the World” gives an honest glimpse into the lives of young people today. With a foreword by Sherman Alexie, two essays by WritersCorps teachers, and writing prompts, this book shows how poetry can allow us to tell the world who we are, where we’re from, what we love, and why we hope. See why the New York Times recommends “Tell the World.”
