  2. Book Talks! 5th: Nicole, Haley Poem talk: Miss Van Ryn

  3. Introduction to Poetry Billy Collins I ask them to take a poem and hold it up to the light like a color slide or press an ear against its hive. I say drop a mouse into a poem And watch him probe his way out, or walk inside the poem's room and feel the walls for a light switch. I want them to waterski across the surface of a poem waving at the author's name on the shore. But all they want to do Is tie the poem to a chair with rope And torture a confession out of it. They begin beating it with a hose To find out what it really means.

  4. In your writer’s notebooks: • What is poetry? Rap? Song? • What makes poetry different? • What kinds of poems have you read? • What do you like? Dislike? • What’s the point? What Is Poetry?

  5. O Me! O Life! By Walt Whitman Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring, Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish, Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?) Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d, Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me, Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined, The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life? Answer. That YOU are here—that life exists and identity, That the powerful play goes on, and YOU may contribute a verse.

  14. Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things. T. S. Eliot

  15. “Poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted.” - Percy Byron Shelley (19th Century British Poet)
