Therapy Class Poetry

In creative arts therapy today we did a little writing for a book that’s being published for this year’s mental health week (in October).  We first had to fill a page very quickly by stream-of-consciousness writing about anything that came to mind. As I’m currently excited about Lester moving in on Friday, he is never far from my thoughts. I quickly filled a page about him and we then had to underline several words that stood out to us and based on these singular words write a few three or four line poems. I am no poet but I thought I’d share these with you, just remember there were rules about words I had to include etc, hence the randomness and repetition.

Lester, my love
Scratching my heart
My parcel of excitement and hope



The yeti in my heart
Is soothed by you
Lester, my love



Excitement and hope
Feelings unfamiliar
But not to you
Lester, my love
