Morrison's Picks
We have been studying poetic form and devices using the poetry of Nikki Giovanni and Linda Hogan.  Each student submitted one poem to Creative Communication's spring poetry competition, but I also took the liberty of selecting some of my favorites for Morrison merits.  All of the poems are in Word format, so their authors can download and continue working on them.
