Taking into consideration the different poetic examples in the reading assignments, you will explore the process of drafting and revising a short collection of poems which will be due next Monday. Please compose three poems. 

There are no length requirements for these pieces aside from the examples set in the reading examples you’ve been provided. Pay particular attention to both content and structure. In poetry, the balance between these two represents the foundation of the creative process. Choose the best words for what you want to convey – don’t settle.

Poems in this assignment should focus on maintaining the balance of content and structure, word choice, line breaks, rhyme, and meter. The secondary focus should be the ordering of the three pieces and the presentation as a collection. Consider how these poems work together even if they seem to be striving towards doing different things.

Guidelines for Submission

• Compose three poems, no specific required length but should be substantial for the intended purpose
