About this course

Over four sessions, this course will give you the tools and confidence to start writing poetry in a variety of forms including free verse and haiku. We will use real life objects and images as prompts for writing, and use examples of different types of poems to get us started. This course is aimed at beginners, so no experience is needed.

By attending this course:

- You will have drafted poems in at least four different poetic forms

- You will be able to recognize poetic forms such as free verse, haiku, concrete poetry

- You will be able to recognize poetic techniques such as simile and metaphor, and use them in your own poems,
