This week\u2019s\u00a0Daily Creates<\/strong>\u00a0were all about creativity and expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first task was to write a poem about being in the park at night<\/strong>. I enjoyed setting the scene with imagery\u2014the quiet rustle of trees, the glow of lamplight, and the calm yet mysterious feeling that comes with nighttime in the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dark Park<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Walking in the garden and it\u2019s late at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I look up in the sky the stars provide the light. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hear the trees swaying due to the wind blowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My feet are swishing on the ground since it is now snowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I reach out my hand to grab a firefly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then sit on a lumpy wood bench and rest my hand on my thigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hear a train horn sound in the near distance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m hungry for peach pie, because I can smell the scent. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The crickets are chirping loudly as I began to walk again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hear someone call my name and I know it\u2019s my friend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are meeting up to have a late night picnic in the park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am back at the entrance because I got lost due to the dark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, I created a \u201cflood of words\u201d image<\/strong> using my own name. This activity was a playful way to visualize identity through words and design. It reminded me that sometimes creativity can be as simple as transforming text into art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, I wrote a rhyming poem about water<\/strong>, exploring its movement, sound, and symbolism. Water can be peaceful or powerful, and it was interesting to capture that duality through rhyme and rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drops of Rain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drip, drop, drip drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can hear the rain as pours non-stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I can also hear it crashing down on the hard clay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rain, rain, please go away and come back another day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A day when I need to water my grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe a day when I get home after class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I do not mind if its later in the afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can then join the wind and become a monsoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drip, drop, drip, drop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a downpour for sure and it is not going to stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can see all three of my Week 9 Daily Creates [here]. Each one challenged me in a different way, but together they reminded me how fun it is to create something new every day\u2014no matter how small.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
