Found College Poetry

So in my 1102 English class my class and I took did an activity that involved the whole class to venture around our learning environment and seek any word or verses we saw pleasing; this either involved us looking around the classroom, the CHHS building, or even the campus. When the mini-venture was over, mostly everybody in the class had at least 2 word or verses that pointed out to them. We all as a class wrote at least two verses or words on the classroom board. On the board, I saw many different  and similar things, such as:
"home" "running away" 
"fire" "Caucion Caliente" "Love is out" etc.

Our assignment as a class was to individually make a poem some out of the phrases from the board! This interested me because it was the first time I was going to take phrases from my classmates and make a poem out of it! The BIG question was this "how am I going to connect theses phrases in a way where they make sense?" All I saw was random phrases and words posted on the board, so I decided to play with this assignment and see where it took me. This is what I got out of it:

!Precaucion Caliente!
Fire like Africa
Fire from keeping calm
Fire when running for your life
Fire do not pop popcorn, it melts popcorn
Caution Hot!

*I felt that as I was doing this, everything connected in any way, and notice that poetry was a form where there wasn't a right or wrong way.

    I really like what you compiled together. In my opinion, it went together really well. It was neat to see something logical come from many phrases that were seemingly illogical

    I agree, poetry can take on any form as long as you have words and a great imagination.

    That's cool how you tied everything together. And good job noticing that poetry has no "right" way of being done.

    I connected mine and tried to make sense and at the end it did make sense but I think I was fooling myself into thinking that did. I don't remember it off the top of my head but I think if someone else read it wouldn’t make sense.

    I like your poem actually! Way better job than mine. I also agree there is no right or wrong way to go about poetry. Good work :)

    That poem was really nice and it did connect together. It's funny how you can take several very random things and connect the together and make poetry.
