Hi all! I decided for the 3rd day of Scratch Week, to give this a different spin to what most scratchers are creating. I wanted to write a poem about the magic of Scratch. @mres gave a small speech at the beginning of Scratch Week about the spirit of Scratch, but I think there is magic here as well. Hidden everywhere, but also in plain sight. Here is my poem: Sometimes we talk about the spirit of Scratch But never, ever the magic of Scratch Of course we don't have spells and lore We have the magic of community We stand up for each other when the world threatens to bring us down We bring down the hate and add to the joy and make ourselves proud We accept and we help, we rant and we vent That's where the magic comes in Of course the most important of all is to create, code, innovate and draw And while we may take these for granted, It really can change is Give us courage and confidence with every love, favorite and more importantly kind comments And while the hate threatens to break this apart We won't let it get us down We will stand tall and united But none of this would be possible without the ST So, we must give them credit for all that they do For thats all they need is to know that we appreciate them So thank you ST for all that you do, You make this place fill of magic and wonder Thats the magic of Scratch Ps. Sorry about the background sounds in the recording I included in this project
