Tips on Editing Poetry Editing your own poetry can be a scary endeavor. Editing may be difficult at first, but once practiced the journey of creating your best work is empowering. Read it at least twice. Read your poem multiple times before attempting to alter it for deeper meanings. Give yourself a chance to thoroughly and fully experience the poem. Skim over your poem’s title, which may contain important clues for understanding it. The title is often an introduction that can guide you. Do not be afraid. How much can you say in as few words as possible? Don’t let the fear of writing “too much” hold you back during your first draft. Your revisions should consist of language cuts and additions. You may realize that a line or stanza can be changed or developed.”

Tips on Editing Poetry Use a thesaurus. This is a great way to develop your vocabulary! Pay attention to punctuation. Most poems use punctuation to help guide the voice of its reader. The end of a line is sometimes not the end of a sentence. Look for patterns and images. The patterns and images of a poem help direct interpretation. Choosing an image that continues through the poem will help identify the meaning. Try something new. Read your poem out loud! Listen for the rhythm of your poem. Do you have a natural flow that is interrupted by hard sound where you need a soft one, or a word with too many syllables (or not enough)? Do you have natural alliteration, assonance, or consonance that you want to develop?

What did I miss???? 1.We discussed "Can We Auto-Correct Humanity” and “Caged Bird”. 2.We edited our new poem and read them to the class. Homework is to bring in a poem, piece of spoken word or song lyrics for class tomorrow.
