The Power of Freewriting
- Poem: First Day by Gian Pagnucci
-
- Task: Write a Poem
- Your poem doesn’t have to rhyme, but it can if you want
- Poetry lets you play with words, with language and languages, with form
- Poetry reminds us that writing can be artistic
- Poetry lets us think about image, detail, and memory
- For this task, you may write a poem about anything you like, but if you can’t decide what to write, then pick one image of the current season and describe it; make that description your first stanza, and then go from there
