Find a poem you LOVE in the Naming the Baby text (a collection of student writing) and copy it out. Include the author and title. Copying out a poem forces you to learn the shapes, the rhythms, the rhymes, the pauses that poets use as a part of their craft, similar to the way an artist chooses colour, texture, canvas type, pencil crayon, oil paints, or clay.
