Calling all poets! Diman is holding a poetry celebration & contest for National Poetry Month - April.

Students are encouraged to visit the library or their English teacher to talk about the contest. 

SOME types of poetry you might consider…

• Free-form - However long you want, in whatever form you want.
• Blackout - See Mr. Byrnes for black markers and books to tear pages out of (or print a page yourself and blackout that).
• Book Spine Poetry - Make a poem out of the titles of books. See Mr. Byrnes for a camera to take a photo with.
• Six-word - Just make a poem out of six words. Simple, but challenging … most of the poem exists off the page, in the mind of the reader.
• Haiku - three lines of poetry, with the first line having 5 syllables, the second having 7 syllables, the third having 5 syllables. 

We're still considering a celebration at the end of the month, so feedback is welcome.
