First Round
Find a slate of poetry and read through each one carefully.
Questions to ponder with another person or to journal alone
- Which poem reflects you when you were 20 years old (if you are 20ish now, then five years younger than you are today)? Why?
- Which poem reflects who you are today? Why?
Second Round
Move to a different slate of poetry and read through each one carefully.
Questions to ponder with another person or to journal alone
- Which poem’s message have you heard before in a different form? How did you receive it then and is it different now?
- Which poem’s message is new to you, a perspective you haven’t heard before? What does it mean for you today?
Final Round
Move to a different slate of poetry and read through each one carefully.
Questions to ponder with another person or to journal alone
- What poem is most surprising to you? Was there a twist or direction it took that was unexpected? Why?
- What image brought out in the words stands out to you? Talk with your companion: what visuals are similar and how are they different?
