Write a poem from a template
For those who are curious about writing a poem but don’t know where to start, a great jumping off point is to use poetry prompts. With guided step-by-step direction, gain poetic confidence and inspiration by selecting words to fill out poetry templates and create poems that are unique to your experiences, thoughts, and feelings.
Whatever your poetry writing skills—from absolute beginner to experienced—this workshop offers you an opportunity to write a poem, overcome writer's block, and find inspiration in a welcoming and collaborative environment.
