TO MY WONDERFUL POETS!

I am reading your poems now and really enjoying them. Good work!

It was great fun in class today.

**Remember to read the poems at left, make your comments about them in your journals in terms of meaning, style, meter, historical significance, etc.

**Come to class on Thursday prepared to ask a question about the poems or contribute to the discussion by adding a comment or two. It's so much more fun when you participate and it's not just me and a few others talking. I know it's hard but we have a great group and I know everyone has opinions because I've read your work.

Enjoy the sunshine!
