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.
