The featured poem is “The Horses” by Ted Hughes, labeled as a featured excerpt. The text appears in large light-colored font within a dark brown rounded rectangle. The excerpt describes horses standing still in a quiet, light-filled scene, with imagery of “steaming and glistening,” “draped stone manes,” and movement stirring beneath them.
In the lower left corner is a small headshot of a smiling person with long dark hair and glasses, standing near a tree. Beneath the poem, text reads: “Loved by: Izzy, Tutor at the Catt. County Campus.”
Alt text (Image 2 – Footprints in the Sand):
A beige and deep red promotional graphic from JCC Learning Commons for National Poetry Month. The header reads “JCC Learning Commons Presents: National Poetry Month,” with the JCC (Jamestown Community College) logo in the top right corner.
The featured piece is “Footprints in the Sand: One Night a Man Had a Dream” by Carolyn Joyce Carty, Ella H. Scharring-Hausen, and Robert Louis Scharring-Hausen. The text is displayed in white within a large dark red rounded rectangle and presents a well-known reflective narrative about a man dreaming he walked with the Lord along the beach.
The passage describes moments in life where only one set of footprints appears, symbolizing times when the Lord carried him through hardship.
At the bottom, text reads: “Loved by: Kelly, Tutor at the Catt. County Campus.”
