The Art of Poetry; Monday, First Period [02/28].
"Ahhh, welcome back, my little ducklings ♥!" Shunsui was settled comfortably, as always, on the cushions at the center of the room, looking terribly relaxed, which was just his general state of being and had little to do with the vacation that had just occured, especially considering that he rather considered Fandom a vacation, so last week had just been a particularly nice (barring the whole having to fight with his swords on a separate plane thing, of course) addition to it. "I hope you both enjoyed our little spring break trip as much as I did, but, alas, it would seem we must return to the arduous nature of our continued studies ♥."
Yes, because this class in particular was just so taxing on their academic pursuits....
Ironically, though, they actually would be learning something that day, or that was the intention, anyway, and Shunsui got started on it as he started to pour out and distribute that week's tea to his avid students.
"Now," he began, "you may have noticed that I do tend to be very big on taking inspiration from the world that surrounds us...the beauty of nature, the loveliness of a pretty face, the indulgence of a fine bottle of sake ♥. And since the three of us are fresh from a voyage I certainly hope you found as inspirational as I did, I thought it would be a good idea to have a look at some Kenyan poets ♥. Having just been there to experience the beauty of that country ourselves, no doubt we can better appreciate the work of some of its more note-worthy wordsmiths ♥.
"So here you have a list of some better known Kenyan poets and a little bit about who they are, as well as some of their poetry ♥. As it is rather young as a nation, you'll find it is all rather contemporary...so we'll take some time to look them over, if there's any that strike you particularly well, don't hesitate to share, and let's talk about if any them manage to reflect your own feelings our thoughts about your visit or what you might like to know more about..."
He gave them a lazy sort of grin.
"Or anything else, really ♥."
