This 60-minute writing workshop is designed for adult women to learn more about poetry writing techniques but also to become more intimate with their own personal stories and history. Led by award-winning author and performance artist Joy Jones, participants will also come to understand and appreciate the power of poetry to heal, inspire and provide an opportunity for celebration of self, family and community.
“Joy Jones is a trainer, performance poet, playwright and author of several books including Private Lessons: A Book of Meditations for Teachers; Tambourine Moon, which was selected as one of the best books for children by the black caucus of the ALA and featured on the Bernie Mac Show; and Fearless Public Speaking. She has won awards for her writing from the D. C. Commission on the Arts & Humanities, and the Colonial Players Promising Playwrights Competition, plus awards from both the D. C. Department of Recreation & Parks and the D. C. Commission on National & Community Service for outstanding community service.
Joy Jones’ provocative op-ed on marriage trends for The Washington Post, “Marriage is for White People”, went viral. She is the director of the arts organization, The Spoken Word, and the founder of the Double Dutch team, DC Retro Jumpers, which has led exhibitions and classes throughout metropolitan Washington and abroad. Joy often leads workshops on creative writing, communications and black history.”

During THE POWER OF POETRY IN YOU , award-wining author and performance artist Joy Jones will lead teen participants through several writing exercises that help them better understand the structure, language and other aspects of poetry. They also will be guided through a process that helps them realize how poetry is revealed in their own lives and history, enhancing their personal self-esteem and sense of self-worth while eliminating a barrier between them and one of the oldest literary art forms in the world.

Leave me alone Ring
I met a Woman.
A really beautiful Woman
Smart great conversation
I was polite
Keeping social
distancing
At times just
nodding
Looking at her
speaking hands
I focused on her
ring finger
She noticed
my glance
and my
reticence
at pursuing
this interaction
She announced
Oh this
This thing
This is
my leave me
alone ring.
For those
Guys I don’t
want to
encourage
Don’t want
to be
Involved with
Don’t want
them do***ng
me.
I felt great knowing
that the leave me
alone ring
wasn’t for
didn’t apply
to me.
So fellas
I’m asking
have you ever
seen or been
the victim of
a Leave me
alone ring
Ha
I think I’ll
get one
my self!

Teachers
It is honour to be teachers
Honestly,sincerity, patience, discipline ,hard working and
kindness are our features
We plant sciences sun in Galaxies
Come with fresh ideas, widen
narrow roads ,grow love fields,
carry knowledge candles
Have the qualities to bring up
generations minds, water rose
buds to catch fasteners
As the we have layers of all knowledges
As rivers we have reborn sciences
As the sky send blue clouds to survive swards
We carve the glory of all nations in
past, present and create future
Fatherly, motherly treat our
learners we are preachers.
