Here is our little friend reciting "Litany," a Billy Collins poem.
Collins said that his poem was inspired by the first two lines of someone else's poem, and he suggests that this is an "act of courtesy" to the other poet.
So we will be courteous to Billy Collins, by creating homage poems in the basic style of his. In the process, we will focus on analogy, metaphor, imagery, and word choice (diction).
Post your responses on the blog.
