Poetry: You Can't Write a Poem About Anything......Can you?

Many students seem to view poetry as limiting...nature, love, and rhyme are the first things that come to mind.  Well, throughout this year, I hope to show them that there are NO LIMITS when it comes to poetry.  With example in tow, they were asked to write about something seemingly difficult.  Something they wouldn't think someone would ever write a poem about.  Ask your child to read his/her creation and see what was written!
