Writers,
Please remember to post the poems you wrote in today’s class on our discussion board HERE: Session 4: Breaking the Line. Use the instructions provided in class to create short free verse with line breaks. Remember that free verse is about sound, rhythm, and the feeling of improv. Have fun! We turned two sentences into poems in class. You can write more if you want but stay on the topic provided in class.
We reviewed work by:
- Perdomo, Willie. How Beautiful We Really Are (video)
- Olivarez, José. Getting Ready to Tell My Dad ‘I Love You,’ It Rains.
- Williams, William Carlos. This Is Just to Say
We also discussed line breaks, free verse, and similes.
Write on and remember to post!
