Instructions:
In ONE DOCUMENT, compile your six poems. They can appear in any order but must be labeled by form in the upper left corner of each poem’s page (or first page):
1. Where I’m From
2. one of the six poetry forms we learned in class (lyric, narrative, pantoum, six-word memoir, haiku, rant)
3. another of the six poetry forms we learned in class
4. a third choice from the list of the six poetry forms we learned in class
5. Poet’s choice: anything you want, whether you make up your own rules for a poem, choose one of the three unused forms from the ones learned in class, or explore a poetry form mentioned in the poetry slide deck.
6. a second poet’s choice poem
Before you submit your work, please address the following items:
Each poem should appear on its own page (all six-word memoirs on one page and all haiku on one page). If a poem continues on to another page, that’s fine.
LABEL each poem by placing the form in the UPPER LEFT CORNER prior to the title or start of each poem.
Do not title six-word memoirs and haikus. All other poems should have a title. The title of the first poem has already been given to you: “Where I’m From.”
You have more freedom with poetry to experiment with layout, spacings and fonts. Just make sure they are legible and clear!
DO NOT CENTER POEMS USING THE CENTER FORMATTING BUTTON. If you want your poem to be in the middle of the page, LEFT JUSTIFY AND TAB IN so that each line starts at the same place on the page. When you use the center button, you let the computer format your poem for you! Centered poems look bad, too.
Author’s annotations explaining or clarifying any of the poetry is typically not necessary and entirely optional. If you do feel compelled to include any explanations or notes, make sure that they won’t be confused with the text of the poems themselves.
Poems that adhere to a form must accurately do so for full credit. Pay attention to form rules, syllable and rhyme or meter requirements.
Any poems missing from this assignment will still be expected to appear in your final exam portfolio.
If you need additional guidance for completing your poems to submit, please consult the poetry slide deck linked above and look at slides 16 and 17!
