Hello, dear students!
We’re having a “Reading Day” today. Check out our new syllabus to see what that’s all about.
If you haven’t begun already, today’s also the day to try your hand at writing poetry. We’ve written about poetry–now let’s write some!
If you’ve got a stack of poetry, you can either bring out a few of those or start from scratch. It’s up to you!
If you’ve never written a poem in your life and you have no idea where to start, or if you’ve written poetry but want to start something new, I suggest you start writing a paragraph describing anything (sight, sound, taste, smell, emotion, etc.). Here’s some ideas, if you need some poetry starters. When it’s finished, see if there are ways you can break up that paragraph into a poem. Or two. Or three.
The poems are due on Monday, 4/27, when you’ll be sharing them with your Cohort.
Have questions? Contact me during our class office hour today (11:30am-1pm) and let’s talk!
Be well & stay safe!
