Introduction

Introduction:
Poetry is everywhere and can be used to describe just about anything, or any emotion. Poems can be short, long, serious or silly. Some poems rhyme, but just as many do not! So go on a poetry journey with your classmates. Visit some poetry web sites to read some poetry and learn about different types of poems. Create, publish and illustrate your own poetry books. These activities are fun and easy. Let’s try it!
