Poetry Club Enrichment Group- Mrs. Blum

The poetry club meets every Monday at lunch, and we spend our time reading and talking about and appreciating poetry. One of the first things we did was talk about how poems are similar to songs. Poems, like songs, are meant to be listened to. We then looked at some lyrics of our favorite songs and talked about how they are similar to poems.  We noticed that they have many similarities, like rhymes, imagery, beautiful language, and themes. The past two weeks we've been talking specifically about narrative poems, poems that tell a story.  Today, the girls brought in children's books from their own homes: books that are actually narrative poems. We are having a wonderful time exploring the many aspects of poetry.
