3 More Interesting Poetry Problems

1. Sports are often described as "poetry in motion." Do you agree with this comparison? Why or why not? Then write a poem depicting a specific, detailed sports moment that represents "poetry in motion."

2. The obvious difference between poetry and music is the inclusion of instrumental backgrounds. Add instrumentals to poetry, take them away from music. Which sounds more natural?

3. Write a poem that can be read both top to bottom and bottom to top. Then write a poem that can be read both right to left and left to right.
