Abstract
There are many uses for poetry: an expression of emotion, an experiment in language, a political act, or a work of art. Poetry also comes in many forms, from a 3- line haiku to a book-length epic. But all poetry is about using language in a unique way-it says things that cannot be said in prose or speech. The exercises below help poets to stimulate their imaginations, sharpen their tools and stretch their limits. You'll also find verses from poets that roughly correspond to the exercises-let them inspire you!
