Magical Metaphors ~ Library Poems @ Moos

In week six of poetry class, we had fun reading a poem about a magical library tour. We talked about writing multiple stanzas and using metaphors (comparisons without the use of “like” or “as”) in our writing before brainstorming our own original magical library poems. Each week there will be 3 poems from each class published to our Hands on Stanzas blog, and every student will have an opportunity to see their written work published on our blog in the weeks to come. Scroll down to enjoy our published magical library poems!
