Short & Sweet: Writing the Short Poem
I love poems short enough to memorize, to learn by heart, as teachers once said to children. Poems with talismanic power have become for me like prayers. Some poems offer comfort—as in the 23rd Psalm. Other poems show the way—how to put disappointment into perspective, survive tragedy, or face inexorable mortality. In Short & Sweet we will look at poems from two to sixteen lines and spend time writing together. You will receive a handout with sample poems before the class begins.
