Poetry words
Like fluffy cakes,
with cream and, conserve
The strength,
was in the beating mix
A strong preserve,
with a variety of ticks,
that formed an eclipse

A Poetry Journal for people with any kind of health condition, disability or visual impairment.

Depending on the person's condition as the parent, carer or professional you will know them, as you would be working with the person to support their individual needs.

Words are very powerful however not everyone can express themselves using words or be able to form a sentence and speak it into words.

Communicating with the person in the familiar way in which they communicate is the first step to creating a personalised poetry journal. Asking their consent is also paramount that they agree for you to support them in making a poetry journal.


Expressing thoughts and feelings through textures and materials is a fun and tactile way,
for a person to express themselves using textures. Prompting a sensory experience while supporting them with their poetic expression.

Examples:

If a person smiles and is happy touching a certain piece of material or a piece of a tree bark then this piece of your expression supply can be added to the personalised poetry journal with a word expression.

Examples:

Materials that are different colours
Yellow for the sun
Brown leaves for Autumn
Orange warm and happy
Deep blue paint, safe paints or crayons. I am not feeling well today. Finger mark with the paint.

You could have a seven day poetry journal
It could also be something that is once a week or once a month individualised to the person's needs.

Children and adults will discover creative expression, relief, peace and fun in finding different natural supplies, to aid words that can be used to express thoughts and feelings in a poetic way.

After creating a few pages the word or words expressed with the materials can then form a piece of poetry. Which the person can read through their person-centred communication aids or you can read it to them, which will give another form of expression as to their thoughts and feelings.

Creating poetry is for all ages and abilities in the process; well-being and holistic health along with expression is part of the experience of creating a personalised poetry journal.

Deep in the enchanted forest
Thee was on the pathway to see
Toadstools, roundhouses, and witches waiting with sweet treats for he
Captivated by all he could see,
away from the bleak conventional streets
that be, along the enchanted path,
staying away from the streets of
Conventional wrath, ensuring the magical path, would fill his pockets with treats that
could only surley last, away from the streets of MASKS, and false treats,
set to fail all people connected to these streets
So follow the path
Where the symbol is sure to stay, and last
Far longer than any conventional street
You may see or pass.

The light comes on
Then do they stay,
or are they gone
It is best you answer,
and, equivocate along
prolonging,
If they belong
