Mini Poetry Collection

1. Write 3 imitation poems: There is a _______ here; What the ___________ said to the ______________; and Burning the old year.

2. Choose two of your three poems to include in your mini-collection.

3.  Write a short (1-2 paragraph) reflection focused on one of your poems. This will be the introduction to your mini-collection. You may wish to address:

•  What you're working to accomplish in your piece

•  The inspiration for your piece

•  Why you used the poetic techniques you used

•  How you used an inspiration but made it your own

•  The struggles you had with a piece and how you overcame them

•  The process you went through to create the poem (describe it)

4. You have a two-poem collection. Think about the order you want the reader to experience your poems. Type your poems in that order on your document and upload to Teams.
