If you can, please comment!

Poetry: Beauty Is...

Our class investigation of offbeat poet Ogden Nash and Robert Frost provided us with an insight into a variety of poetry styles. The discussions we had and were both thoughtful and playful. We learned that rhyme, meaning, and a clever use of words can be used to evoke the authors message. Our examination culminated in a poetry theme titled "Beauty Is". I found your poems to be creative and thoughtful. I want to thank Ms. Hunter and Mrs. Edwards for working with us on this lesson. Please respond with your thoughts about poetry, the author's we studied, and the writing of "Beauty Is".
