The 2020 Collection
The 2020 CollectionHere you will find an assortment of poems written by the Poetry Class at Emerald Court Senior Living in Anaheim, California. The Poetry Class was formed in 2019 by Herman Sillas. His wife, Cora, does the collecting, organizing, and scheduling for the class. Herman, a seasoned writer, painter, and poet, wanted to share his love of poetry with his neighbors at the community.
An assortment of residents joined the class, many of whom had never written poetry in their life. The Poetry Class could only meet during the first two months of 2020, but they continued to write even when they could not meet in person. Please enjoy the many poems they came up with throughout the year; you will read stories of love, family, getting older, and the infamous coronavirus itself.
