Poetry Assignment


For those of you who are currently ahead, or for those who are waiting to get essay D1 back, you can start writing some poetry: I expect two free verse poems to be drafted and final copied by the end of the quarter.  The due dates are as follows.



Free verse poem #1: Final copy due by 3/20
Free verse poem #2: Final copy due by 4/3

Remember, conscientious students  plan ahead.  Why not try one of the "What's in My Journal" poems that we read today?  These are metaphorical snapshots of who you are as young adults.  They are similar to the "Where I'm From" poetry we wrote early in the school year.  Take a look at your "Where Poetry Hides" lists to come up with some ideas.  I told you earlier in the year that poetry deserves the same attention as prose, and I plan to stick to what I said.

As for the picture, that handsome devil is William Carlos Williams.  Go figure.  -Mr. Lang
