About this course
Over six sessions, this course will give you the tools and confidence to start writing poems. You will use real life objects and images as prompts for writing, and use examples of different types of poems such as haiku, to get you started, as well as understanding the techniques that poets use to achieve their effects. This course is aimed at beginners, so everyone is welcome.
During the course, we will look at: - What makes a poem? - How your senses and life experience are starting points for writing poems - Using everyday objects to inspire poems - How to read a poem for understanding - An introduction to the shape and form of poetry - How simile, metaphor, alliteration and other poetic techniques work to build a poem - Transferable skills such as active listening, and how to express opinions in a group
What you will need to bring to the course:
Pen and a notebook preferably A4
