[Workshop Summary Report]

Poem #1  

The Beginning of a Legend

Georgia O’keeffe was born

in 1887 in a Wisconsin farmhouse.

The second of seven children,

she was a simple farm girl

who dressed as plainly as she spoke.  

No matter how much her classmates tried to change her,

she refused.

Poem #2   

Thinking about the Hands

Not too big, not too small, not too long, not too short.

The hand can grip, carry, bring, sometimes throw balls, take a baseball glove and swing a baseball bat. So it’s just normal.  

In summer, this hand is going to be a little black because it got tan.

How long have you played baseball in the sunlight?

I have played baseball in the moonlight for 12 years.
