Take a Swing!

Poetry is a game built on word play. Instead of bouncing basketballs or swinging baseball bats, we play with language.  

A lot of young people are scared of reading and writing, I know I was. Playing the game of poetry will help you overcome these fears.  

Here are some poems, portraits, and poetic activities to help you get started playing the game. No fear. No worries. Just have some fun!
