I am celebrating <\/strong><\/h1>\n

National Poetry Month.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The QUESTION that comes up is ALWAYS,<\/h2>\n

“How do I begin to write a POEM?”<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

I say, “Keep it simple!<\/p>\n

Begin with what you see, hear, touch, smell, taste, or think.<\/p>\n

Own It!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Observe IT.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Write about IT<\/strong> in your journal<\/p>\n

Name IT<\/strong> and reflect on IT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Inscribe IT<\/strong> with\u00a0 pen and paper – or-<\/p>\n

Type IT<\/strong> on your computer.<\/p>\n
