The Trees Wore Scarves

My friend, one of the Adult Literacy Tutors; invites me to an afternoon in the Botanical Gardens to witness some of her online students read in person. So i go along, and i have a heart-warming time; meeting new people old and young, from all over the islands; sharing snacks and listening to splendid readings.

ALTA Online is an interactive, web-based programme of literacy instruction built around Caribbean life skills content and designed for independent use by persons aged 9 and over.

There were also options for authors to read as well: A source of inspiration and encouragement for students in the programme.

Quadrille Sharp

The trees looked sharp

 In their brightly wrapped scarves;

And the dry leaves crackled underfoot.

After the noon sun on Saturday,

There was left much to say.

From far and wide they gathered,

This day they will have their say,

And say they did.
