🎨✨ New artwork at MyPlace! ✨🎨

We’re delighted to showcase this beautiful community artwork, featuring a poem created by local residents through creativity, self-expression and shared experiences. 💚

Words can be super powerful
Ex*****on of prose can stir emotion
Letting your imagination open up fully
Creating a free flowing word potion

Only if this mystical power was felt often
Many people could write more
Egad to doomscrolling and “social” media consumption
To our creative minds do we bore.

Open up your heart, mind and feelings
Making a masterpiece for your poetic place
You can rhyme or not, or keep it abstract
Perhaps freeing feelings from your mental space

Local council initiatives helped make this
And the local residents contributed too
Creating poems that share their personal experience
Everyone can do it, can you?

✨ WELCOME TO MYPLACE ✨

Come and see the artwork for yourself at MyPlace, Harold Hill! 💫
