Poetry can be created by all. Short, long, simple, complex: there is no end to how to write a poem. Sure there are certain forms you can follow and rhyming schemes to match, but not always. Some of the best poetry I have created, read or heard is that which is straight from the gut. It’s not always sing-songy, but it does have flow. It may not have rhyme, but is rolls off the tongue. Introducing various types of poems to students in all grade levels is an important thing to do. That way they get exposure to limitless possibilities and then are able to find their own voice.
