If you were absent today, ask me for the two handouts. One on extended metaphors and one on a poetry assignment we did in class today.
Homework: Create a new poem and bring three copies for your workshop group. Follow the criteria. Keep reading modern poems for inspiration.
We read four fantastic poems this morning and then we each chose one and re-read it, looking for the methods the poet used to create the poem. We reported back to the class from our small groups. This method is one way to learn to go beyond your comfort zone.
LITERARY EVENT: Tonight at Planet Earth Poetry at the Moka House Coffee Shop on Hillside near Shelbourne. Starts at 7:30. If you'd like to read a poem written by someone else, show up at 7 pm and get your name on the list. This reading a poem by someone else only happens on the first Friday of their year. It's fun and a fundraiser for Doctors Without Borders. Books will be on sale for $5.00. All proceeds to this wonderful charity. $3.00 cover charge and it is respectful to buy a tea or milk or cookie from the Moka House as they do not charge us for using their space. Thanks.
See you there.
Bring in Belfry money and forms by Monday, please.
