Creative Writing- Poetry

The Creative Writing group was able to see a poet who visited the school for a couple of days. It was interesting to hear someone who had dedicated much of his time to poetry speak about what he does. He presented some of his work, and then included us in an activity which involved each person finishing a different sentence that had been started on a piece of paper. Nobody looked at what was written before his or her turn. Then, when it was finished, we put the sentences together and read everything that was written on the paper as a poem. Naturally, the result did not make much sense, but it was a fun experiment, and it felt worthwhile to hear the guest speak.
