VCS collaborative poem by Arts in Health https://padlet.com/sallythelwell/s023dqith41vqhmpmxiu The theme of National Poetry Day 2026 is "Wonder". We are inviting all staff, patients ad the community to add words, phrases, lines of poetry so we can write a collective poem which responds to this theme. Wonder can be anything- a spark of imagination, a moment of awe, a celebration of resilience, or a moment of self-reflection. For ease, we are starting off the poem with a few introductory lines. Please add on your thoughts and make it grow into a powerful collaborative narrative. With your contributions, the finished product will be a coherent whole poem, which we will release to mark the day and celebrate the joy of poetry. Please include your name and role so we are able to show everyone who participated. All contributions are welcome. You don't need to be a poet, and rhyming while desirable, is not an essential skill!:) Please add your comment to the text box below where it says 'Add comment". en-us 2026-09-08 08:42:43 UTC 2026-10-01 13:37:32 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/8.0/svg/1f9de-2642.svg sallythelwell https://padlet.com/sallythelwell/s023dqith41vqhmpmxiu/wish/4037736358 A deep sense of wonder
