Some Haikus written by the foundation at the end fo the first half term.
Sunlight wore facemask,
when I came in summertime.
Let´s cross the darkside!
it is far better
than being home all day long
i’m enjoying it
Corona is around us
But we are safe in college
We can create now
working men’s is home
the vibrancy is striking
idea is here
Put your face mask on,
Somehow theres paint in my hair,
paper is magic.
Exploring art and
Meeting new people through masks,
has become normal
working mens college,
i was first apprehensive,
now yes, i’m in love
