Students Express Themselves Through Poetry

Students gathered to celebrate poetry and literature at Collins' Spoken Word Night last week. Several students read their own original work. The night was a mix of funny and serious poetry and short stories. It was great to see how creative other Collinsites were.
One student, Michael, read a poem by, according to him, "our generation's greatest poet." He did a hilarious rendition of "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga. It was a fun night and a great opportunity for students to show off their work and get positive feedback. I'm no poet myself, but I'm always glad to cheer on my fellow students.
