We Are Poets

In preparation for Poetry Month in April, we have started to craft self-portrait poems, in which we as poets look deep inside ourselves and use similes, metaphors, symbolism and other literary language to express ourselves.

So far, we have experimented with...
* Free verse
* End rhyme
* Internal rhyme

We "publish" at least two versions of the self-portrait poem Friday. We will continue to revise all month, ultimately creating our own poetry books containing at least four different genres. We will perform our poems at a poetry slam. Details to come.
