Poetry Lab Writing Workshop: Alphabet Poems



“Today you will word-process your latest creation: The Alphabet Poem. When you have made it "book-ready," I want you to find your favorite poems online. Make a comment to this posting that includes the title and author of your favorites and why they are your favorites. Use Standard English conventions in your comments. (We aren't texting here;) Next week is the vote for the favorite poem for the month, so read comments that are made by your classmates. 
If you haven't finished the Poetry Analysis work, please do that! Tomorrow is a test over poetry devices - like the ones you have been finding in the scavenger hunt.”

    I really like "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost because I really like what the poem means and stands for. I also like "Where the Sidewalk Ends" By Shel Silverstein. I mainly like this poem because I remember reading it when I was younger.So each time I read it, I think about all the memories from the first time I read it.
