Ghostlady:
Mr leki10 I have a question
Please anytime we write a poem,since we are just learners..can you let us know what type of poetry it is? Sometimes we just write without knowing the type,it should help us improve...
Thank you. smiley
Since we are just learning, any type we write will likely be a free verse till you know a particular type and how to write it. That is why i will suggest free verse. Meanwhile, no matter the type you write, makr sure you tag a teacher so that ur poem can be analysed. Thanks.
