December 3rd, 2021 was my first classroom visit with Shoesmith 4th graders for the school year. When I asked students what they knew about poetry, they impressed me with responses that included: “a rhyme that makes sense;” “it can be about whatever you want;” “poetry is a small story;” “words that make us feel;” “can be read with expression;” and “you can read it as well as write it!” Students informed me that the things one needs in order to write poetry are: ideas, creativity, a good mindset, subject matter, emotions, and imagination. Then they wrote wish poems!
