Everyone needs a voice, a way to express themselves. 
We want a way to scream
(or whisper, or sob, or laugh) our thoughts to the world.
 Poetry is about telling our stories, our hopes, and our fragile dreams. 
 

Confidence. Connection. Creation. 
- Sync Outreach and Program President Sara Garg

Examples Used in ELEMENTARY Hallween Workshop

"Candy Corn" by Diya Khanduri
~~haiku~~

Careful crafted

Each layer a work of art
I bite it apart

"Ready or Not" by Sara Garg 
~~limerick~~


T’was a dark and stormy night
Monsters were ready to give a fright
But for fear of the rain
No children came
And the monsters slunk out of sight
​

​"All human things are subject to decay" by Richard Flecknoe
~~couplet~~

All human things are subject to decay.
And, when fate summons, monarchs must obey.

This Flecknoe found, who, like Augustus, young
Was called to empire, and had governed long;

In prose and verse was owned, without dispute,
Throughout the realms of nonsense, absolute.
