7th May class

And as the poetry classes continue (which is amazing, by the way), I guess today all of us have something to put here :)

I am talking about the "When I am an old woman I shall wear purple" poem we had to "re-invent".

For me it was particularly hard to begin, as I am not the kind of person who likes to think about the future, but once I started I admit I didn't want to stop O_O

Here is my version (each one of us has a different one)


 


When I am an old woman I shall wear purple

I shall be as open-minded as I've been taught

And teach those around me to do the same


My life stories shall be tolded to my grandchildren

Who shall know they had a tough grandmother

Who just loved her life


That should inspire them to never give up,

And tell them to always be themselves

Teaching them that life's what we make of it


I shall help others to be raised happily

And to share their love.

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
