This week YOU get to be the poet! Create your own version of This Is Just To Say focusing on the subject of your choice. Try to follow Williams example in terms of both form (organize your poem metrically, with line breaks and stanzas etc) and spirit– choose a topic that feels authentic to [your life] about which you feel you can write with a certain amount of feeling.” Want to be even more creative? Are you artistic? You could complete this by making any rendition of a “found poem” like the samples in the module. If you choose this option, upload a photograph of it to Canvas.
