In this class, I’ll be discussing how to use imagery in order to create more immersive poetry. By the end of the class, you’ll learn:

The structure of a free verse poem
How to define/the importance of concrete details
How to use similes and metaphors

All of these tools will be applied during the class project, where you will:

Write one free verse poem
Combine all the skills you've learned in class
Use at least 2 of the 5 senses

Once completed, you will post your poem as a PDF file in the project gallery and comment feedback on at least two other classmates.

The class is open to all levels of understanding – from those who are just starting, to those who have some knowledge about poetry. All you need is a word processing software such as Microsoft Word or Google Docs.
