If you did not complete Tuesday’s homework, here is the
information on the assignment again, hopefully in a more readable format. Just follow the specifications of the poems
to the best of your ability.
WRITE POETRY =)
Below, I have included several types of "closed form"
poetry (poetry with a prescribed form that has to be followed). You must write
TWO closed form poems, but you get to choose which forms you would like to
write. However, you must choose two DIFFERENT forms to use. You can't
write both of your poems in the same form. Also, some poem forms are
short; be sure to read all the instructions, because certain forms may required
two to count as one.
ALSO, be sure and see that there is an attachment to the post.
After you've written your poetry, read the attached file to learn about our
final project in class!
Acrostic: Poetry that certain letters, usually the
first in each line form a word or message when read in a sequence.

Allan Poe's "A Valentine". **Hamilton requirements: must be at least 8 lines long, or
