Paper Flower Poems

Youth Media Center
A vase on a wooden table with several different colored paper flowers inside.

If you’re reading this, you might’ve discovered a paper flower poem. Students at the Youth Media Center crafted flowers from tissue paper and wire and attached QR codes leading to this collection of recordings. They chose favorite poems to read and wrote some of their own. Like flowers, each poem is delightful and unique.
