Most of us describe the world in the way that we see and hear it. Write from the 
perspective of taste, smell and feel instead, skipping all the usual visual and auditory imagery.

Poetry Reading Assignment

In order to write good poetry, it is important to read poetry.  We will be working with free verse and you must read from both the Billy Collins website: http://www.loc.gov/poetry/180/ and the poetry books here in the classroom.

Assignment:  As you are reading, you must find a minimum of ten free verse poems that you really like—five from books and five from the website.  You might admire the style in which they are written, you may particularly enjoy the subject and/or meaning of the poem, or you may really like the writing devices this author has chosen to use.  Whichever reasons you choose, you must hand-write the poems from the books into your writer’s notebook.  The poetry180 poems may be printed out and glued into the notebook.  Make sure you record basic bibliography information:  Title of book, Title of poem, author of poem, & page number.  They will be a part of your assigned write notebook check.
