Write your own poem!
First choose a photo, or piece of art to respond to. View a selection of photos from the Redmond Historical Society HERE.
Consider the questions below. Write your answers on a sheet of paper, using 1 or 2 lines for each response.
Quick tip: Don't feel you have to respond to each question. If it feels difficult to answer, you can skip it!
That's it! These answers can be a finished poem, or a starting point for a more polished work.
Read your answers out lout and see where you would like to add more detail, insert pauses, or other edits.
