Poetry

Poetry Workshop
We'll take an idea, find the best words we can, and write a poem! And then write another, only this time we'll make it rhyme or make it outrageously tall or screaming red with orange polka dots- there are so many ways to put words on paper! We will read a few famous and not-so famous poems, than write and read our own. This workshop is all about discovery: how we say things, how we tell our stories, how we share our thoughts in new ways.
