Day One

Welcome to our poetry blogger!  This site will be used to share poetry, poets, and responses with each other.  Today, you will be expected to respond to ONE post of your choice and to write ONE original post.  Be sure to include the name of the poem to which you are responding.  Also address the name of the person to whom you are responding if you are continuing an ongoing discussion.  If you are unsure what to write about, respond to the discussion questions listed before the poems. 

Each post should be between 50-100 words.  Your post should contain a discussion of at least one poetic device, such as simile, metaphor, personification, analogy, symbolism, allusion, paradox, oxymoron, rhyme, alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia, free verse, repetition, refrain, diction, or tone.


Have fun and be respectful!
