‘I think this workshop was really fun. It made writing poetry fun and more interesting. I learnt quite a lot from this. … I can’t really think of any improvements.’

‘I loved it. I learnt I can write poems.’

‘I love writing poems in my spare time. This experience has inspired me as much as I love bunnies (a lot). I would love to do it again.’

‘I feel good about myself.’

‘I am not that bad.’

‘I have learnt new poem types.’

‘I had to miss art’.

‘I liked doing something different.’
