Introduction to Poetry Part I-- The Three Pillars of Poetry

In these poetry writing worksheets, students learn the power of words and the ability of the poet to say a great deal with a few well-chosen words. Students learn the 3 pillars of poetry: Emotion (makes you feel something), Image (makes you see something) and Music (makes you hear the music of the words.) Students read samples of adult and child poetry that illustrate each of these important pillars of poetry in readiness for writing on their own.
