In the December workshop we explored with Jacob his poems 'How to be Urban', 'How to be a Basketball' and 'How to be Gravity'. This neat conceit intrigued us.
How to be a Pen
How to be a Pen
Always asleep, always dreaming; words; letters; numbers
working hard even though you're sat down.
Full of life, but lacking energy.
A sword to an artistic warrior,
something to comfort a troubled mind.
Your friend; the paper; a welcome gift.

How to be Snow
The lazy snowdrops evacuate the sombre clouds
And find their haphazard way
Down to the expectant Earth.
They make everything feel festive,
Like it's going to be a white Christmas
Or la navidad blanco, or le noel blanc,
Either way , it's nice,
To go outside
In the untampered bliss
And mould imperfect balls of cold perfection.
Ben Custard
How to be Me
Listen to the music,
come what may,
break the rules, love is for
fools.
Find the answer: 42.
White flag, the song for you
And remember just one thing
The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just
to love and be loved in return.
