Milkshake! Love Nature Young Voices

In a city park's green spaces, two children encounter a spoken‑word poet. Together they take in the surrounding natural world, noting its sights, sounds and rhythms. Inspired by what they have observed, the children then compose a green poem as a tribute to the park's living landscape.

Green Poet is a programme presented as a single episode. Its title, Green Poet, signals a focus on poetry and the natural world, and the format is intended to deliver a complete narrative within one instalment. As an episode‑style broadcast, it is designed to tell its story in one sitting, without extending into a series. In the episode, two children happen upon a spoken‑word poet while they're out in a city park. The poet’s performance draws the youngsters in, and together they take a moment to look closely at the natural world that surrounds them. Their observations become the seed for a collaborative piece of writing. The children’s attention shifts to the details of the park – the trees, the sky, the sounds of wildlife – all of which they note after the poet’s introduction. This shared focus on the environment guides them toward expressing what they’ve seen in verse, turning simple observation into creative expression. Guided by the poet’s style, the pair craft a ‘green’ poem that reflects the flora and fauna they’ve witnessed. The finished piece serves as a concise celebration of the park’s natural elements, tying together the encounter, the observation, and the collaborative writing into a single, environmentally‑themed composition.
