Watch our kids blossom through writing free-verse, non-rhyming poetry.

This form of poetry focuses on content and language to express oneself. Our unique voices and personal styles emerge as we create our own rhythms and patterns, and experiment with word choice, space and form.

Specific elements to look at and comment on: imagery, line breaks (where each line of the poem ends on the page) and white spaces (space on the page with no words), ending lines, topics, titles, mood, and choosing language carefully.
