Today I collected and edited the poems written about animals, objects, etc. Tonight, do a second edit of the poems (follow the criteria and my suggestions on the first draft) so that you feel the poem is ready to send to the League of Canadian Poets National Poetry Contest. This contest has $350, $250, and $200, prizes for first, second and third. We have to send the poems electronically so make sure you have an electronic copy that you can access during class tomorrow.
REMEMBER THAT WE ARE IN THE COMPUTER LAB UNTIL FRIDAY.
You may enter two poems in this contest
Details on how to enter are below:
Contest Entry Guidelines
Tonight: Write a poem imitating the Rachel Rose poem. A poem about a work of art or a photograph or an artist's process or the subjects of art or write a poem similar to the Patrick Lane poem, "Brothers" or the Elizabeth Larribee poem, "Havoc" where images are repeated in surprising ways and there is an allusion to art or photography.
Type up this poem and submit it to me tomorrow for editing.
If you need more time, let me know.
