Seasons of Poetry

Seasons of Poetry is a delightful journey through the year with vivid, stylized images, and engaging poems,
that stand on their own. But it doesn't end there. Its lessons present an introduction to writing poetry, and an
overview of poetic forms and traits. Based on Six-Trait Writing, and supportive of state standards for
literature, it provides guidelines for beginning writers of any age to create depth, and poetic skill within their
poems. The author's "voice" comes through her writing, inspiring even the most reluctant writer to discover
the poet within; while self-driven writers will be off and running on their own.

Some of the ideas presented in Seasons of Poetry are:

Rhyming vs verse
Figurative language
Irony and juxtaposition
Meter
Repetition
Sensory imagery
Evoking strong emotion
Aspects of a poets life
Breaking conventions or using them in an unusual way
White space, subtitles, and line breaks
Glossary of terms

Teachers and students alike, will find this multi-faceted book the perfect combination to inspire new poets.
