A day in the life of an active artist

Life continues to offer me the encouragement to wakeup what is asleep inside me. the opportunity to use structured sltyle of writing to support the freedom of self expression with impeccability of integrity and respect for life.

The first assignment to do so was not too challenging. Though I had not written poems using the Haiku style I knew about it.

Suffice to say, it pays to practise a few styles. At the same time I must admit that I am glad that I did not wait until this moment to allow my soul to squeal or else I'd missed out on poery wrting as a therapeutic tool.

Break time….

Recess is over…

There I am hours later after having struggled to think and compose a three tanka poems and still enjoy adding my own flavour of creativity.

First of all, today is the first time I ever heard of Tanka as well as the first time I have to compose a poem on a theme suggested by someone else. It is so different composing what does not come thorugh spontaneously.

The good thing is I learnt something new and different.

I better sign out and review my work before I send it off for grading.
Assignments, discussions, and chats are a whooping 40 %! Journal, Portfolio and Presentation- 60%

I have to keep up with my journal. I better get back to collecting my fragmented ideas.
