In this Poetry class, we will read some of my -  and your – favorite poems to learn how poems work. We’ll examine rhythm, rhyme, sound effects, and word choice, in poems by Alfred Lord Tennyson, Robert Frost, Walt Whitman, Edna, St. Vincent Millay, and many others. We may memorize some of those poems - for the great joy that always brings –or we may write our own poems, using the techniques we have studied.
