In the spirit of Pablo Neruda, examine poetic devices in lyric, narrative and prose poems that allow them to sing and soar. These devices include assonance, consonance, alliteration, onomatopoeia, imagery, metaphor, line and stanza breaks and how these meld with the poet’s intent.
Write poems from a prompt, give and receive feedback with a partner and read poems aloud, voluntarily.
