Thanks for your enthusiastic response to our guest poets from Writing 12, Jack Hayes and Kaylaa Dornan. The quick writes which you read out demonstrate a real flair for working with words. If writing is something you enjoy, Writing 12 at SMUS is one of the finest programs in the country. You'll get instruction you'll never get anywhere else.
Create two typed poems which you wrote based on today's exercises or take a line from today and create new poems. Think--image, sound, structure. Show us what to feel but don't tell us. Add a title that resonates, acts as an invitation, and may mean something different at the beginning of the poem compared to the end.
Hand in the poems on Monday.
