The members of www.kidswrite4kids.com have recently submitted some wonderful poems and stories. Check out the most recent poems by Morgann and Jade-Alice, our two newest members. Both Morgann and Jade-Alice were in classes I taught last week, and Jade-Alice even named a poem after me and mentioned my book of poems! Keep it coming!! Don’t let the end of the school year slow you down.
In the next couple of weeks, I will be writing about poetry. Here is an outline of the blog entries I’ll be making:
Introduction: What IS a Poem, Anyway?
The Couplet and Finding Rhymes
The Quatrain
The Limerick
The Villanelle
The Haiku
I hope that you try writing in one or two (or all) of these forms. It is great fun to see what happens—what you end up saying—as you go looking for a rhyme or for just the right number of syllables.
As I get these entries together for you, keep writing! Also, of course, always keep reading. This might be a great time to reread some poems by your favorite authors.
