Hey, all. We're back for a short day today.
Our Zoom class is at 1:00. On Wednesday, I will meet with periods 4, 5, and 6 at 9:00 and with periods 2 and 3 at 10:00. The link is the same. Please make sure your first and last name are visible so I can admit you to the meeting and we can avoid the Zoom bombers. Here is the link:
Our poem today is "Harlem" by Langston Hughes.
Read through the poem 3-4 times (preferably out loud).

What is it about?
What poetic elements do you notice happening in this poem?
Annotate and make sense of this poem.
Prompts for today:
Write about a poem dream you have.
From Winter Tangerine:
"Find your favorite painting. Write a piece with the same title."
Below are the images and titles for a few of my favorites.
And from Writer's Digest: "Write a purpose poem. Many people like to have a purpose in life. Some folks do things on purpose. And yes, sometimes it appears there is no purpose to life’s events. Whatever drives you, I hope you’re able to pair purpose (or lack of purpose) with your poetry today.
Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt."
