Poetry
Poetry is a form of writing with a distinctive style and rhythm. Some poetry rhymes, but other genres include free-form, narrative, and lyrical poetry.
Part 1
Choose 1 of the four approved themes to write on:
- Nature (elements of the natural world, the place of people in the natural order, the relationship between humans and nature)
- Time (the passing of time, memory, reflections on the nature of the present or of the future)
- America (what makes America unique, American voices, differing perspectives)
- Inspiration (the meaning of life, success, honor in the modern world)
Complete the following:
- Write a poem of 10–20 lines about your chosen theme.
- Include imagery and sensory language (e.g., sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste).
- Post your poem on the Discussion Board.
Part 2
In 2–3 paragraphs, discuss the following:
- Describe the process you used to write the poem (e.g., how did you go about choosing the topic?).
- Why did you choose to rhyme or not rhyme?
- Did you find this easy or difficult to write? Explain your answer.
