QUOTE of the WEEK

"Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things." - T. S. Eliot

*** I NEED A CLASS PICTURE - everyone needs to be present or I can't take one!

June 3, 2011

Unlocked

I've given you the parameters of the Haiku to work within and now I'm setting you free.  No limitations, no rules, no restrictions. 

One word:  "Unlocked"

Go.

*** ADDENDUM:  Pay attention to directions children. Read between the lines.  "And now I'm setting you free" means NO HAIKUS.  This is a free verse poem with no limitations - any construction you want - just relate the poem to the one word prompt.  Ugghh. Pay attention Pay-Leeze.

If you wrote a Haiku as your response, change it and re-post. Don't get lazy with these posts.  They are a substantial part of your grade - low effort is going to drop your grade. Just so you know...  Follow Ashley's lead.  She consistently does a good job week to week - exemplary work Ash.
