Start exploring poetic forms

First- Make sure you have gone to the poetic forms website (Here) and chosen FOUR forms you wish to attempt.

Second - You will make one post for each form. Start doing this. I reccomend that you compose your posts in Microsoft Word, and then copy and paste them into Blogger.

Outline of each form post
Title: Name of Form

First paragraph: Briefly explain the form (yes you can copy and paste from the web site.

Second paragraph: Give a good example of the form that you did NOT find on the poetic forms website. Do some research. Copy it from a book or another web site. Make sure you give full credit to the writer and the publication by including a citation. (Check out the citation machine for MLA citation style.)
Third paragraph: Write your own, original attempt at the poetic form.
Enjoy - I will enjoy reading them.
