Student writing inspired by viewing the Ansel Adams exhibit...

Write a four line poem...

Moonrise, Hernandez
Moon, peacefully sitting
Above a blanket of soft clouds
The dead rest at the foothills
Pointing to the heavens

Juniper Tree Detail
Jagged edges
Reaching, soaring
Like the desperate wing of a crow
Fly

Monolith
Driftwood
Wanders
Balloon let go -
Freedom

Writing prompt: Imagine yourself in this scene. What do you sense?

Moonrise
The lonely moon rises
As the sound of silence falls
The people are at peace
Nothing can be felt at all
And as the mountains cry out
As the sky looks down to sigh
We know there are true reasons
We cease to ask the question why.
