In week 5 of poetry class at Moos, we had fun exploring juxtapositions and playing around with silly language! We discussed the idea that a poet can place two strange things side by side ( a swan of bees…a kiss of babies…an eraser of kittens) and we can still imagine what that would look like in our minds. We had fun brainstorming a list of silly juxtapositions together as a class before using our imaginations to write our own 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 this week’s published poems!
