Welcome to Poetry Starters

What are "poetry starters"?

Every so often, I'll post a poem, either an original by moi, or one that I particularly love by another poet. Then, I'll suggest two or three ways to use the poem as a "starter" for your own poem(s).

Use these starters for yourself or, if you are a teacher, feel free to download them and use them in your classroom.

You can also subscribe to them and have them sent directly to your e-mail box. To subscribe, simply fill out the information below.

Be sure to tell your friends about Poetry Starters too!
