Stress Poetry Task 27th October

For this task we were asked to write down things that we fear, cause us stress, how we deal with stress and a negative thought from the day. These were anonymously shared with the group so we could make poetry from them. It was interesting to see how much people have similar worries for crits, failure and the future.

To destress I run backwards,
Me and time meet up in Hyde Park,
It always feels like we're racing,

I thought it would be interesting to illustrate these poems using very obscure and wacky imagery in a zine format. This would be appealing to young adults who it would probably help most. Although, many of these poems contain very dark content so it would have to be approached sensitively, perhaps with ironic or funny interpretations to lighten the content.
