Poetry 101

Hi everybody!

How is everything going?

Today, we shall start our lesson with the introduction of poetry.



What is Poetry?

Poetry is a creative literary piece made up of specially-arranged words in metre or free verse. A poem is uniques to its author but is also created in the common currency of its period: style, preoccupations and shared beliefs.

For more information regarding poetry, I have prepared a handout for this topic. You can download it from this link:
