Poetry Discussion More Information
This group has settled into the following routine:
1. Reading out our light or serious homework poems which are an exercise in using six words to fashion into a short poem.
2. A presentation on a major poet. We have looked at poets both modern and old: Yeats, Blake, Hunt etc. Often these are award winning poets.
3. A song lyric with strongly poetic qualities to listen to and discuss.
4. Members read out poems they have found or written.
We think we have a good balance between writing and reading with the emphasis on discussing established poets.
