My poem...

So I had this awful teacher in fourth grade whom told me that I could never get my poem that I created then published, and it stopped me from writing another poem until NOW! I wrote this poem for my creative arts class about art and diversity.

Colorful thoughts

By Jenna Santelli

When children wonder and think,

Thunder of thoughts light up their minds

They can find different signs

And work with different minds

Where blunders do not exist.

They turn to a place where diversity rests

As it tests the normal boundaries

It does not need to be done in a formal setting

Art just needs to be fun!

Their imaginations can run wild

And they can develop their own styles

Art even allows them to create smiles

They can learn and grow

So their imagination flows

And they can show their true expressions.

With a dash of imagination

Where clashes do not exist

And diversity persists

A drop of paint

Ain’t the only form

There are drawings of kings

Sculptures of things

Bundles of songs

And images of cultures that certainly belong

Arts brings us together

Through different forms

And helps us reform our current world

Art knows no races

But rather colorful faces

And without it— our world would be a useless case
