Poems with Joshua Iosefo

Poems with Joshua Iosefo

Writing poems with Joshua has been the coolest thing i’ve worked on this year. He tought us how to write spoken word poems. I will go through my experience with him step by step and tell you all about it.

Me and 4 others got called out to work with him by Mrs Lagitupu. At first I thought it would be really hard to try and create a really good peice of writing, but Joshua told us all we had to write about was something that meant a lot to us.

My team and I all had something different to write about. I wrote about how Art is everything we are and everything that’s around us. We wrote about it on a peice of plain paper that he gave us.

In the end we had to do some excercises to give us enough energy to say our speech without lacking energy, so we didn’t go from lots of energy to none in a finger snap. So we did the excercises and said the speech in front of the team.

We all said our speech and  Joshua gave us tips on how to improve on our writing. We ended up having to work on it a little bit more to make sure that it all made sense and it was the way we wanted it to be.

We all gathered the team together and filmed each other saying our poem and doing actions to it. Finally we had finished our sessions with Joshua. THANK YOU JOSHUA!!!!!
