A One Week Poetry Challenge: Day 3 of 8

Stacey Shubitz

A One Week Poetry Challenge

Ruth got me thinking about writing a poem for two voices, which I attempted once (and failed at). Hence, I modified my thinking about poems for two voices since I started thinking about the two voices we have: what we say and what we wish we could say. Hence, here’s today’s poetic inspiration (if you need it):

1. Read Tom Wayman’s Poem, “Did I Miss Anything?”
2. Think about something that you’ve said that might not be exactly what you wanted to say.
3. Start writing.

Link your poem for two voices (or any other poem you write today) to this post using Mr. Linky.

  2. I love using poems for two voices for teaching fluency…but like you I have not written one! I will give it a go today and see if I can have one for tomorrow. Today I tried something new…I wrote my first haiku that I actually liked…
    Have a super Monday 🙂

  3. I love poems for multiple voices and do them with my students.
    Last year, I was in the midst of a OnePoemPerMonthForaYear personal project adventure and I wrote a poem for three voices and then recorded myself reading all of the lines.
    It did not turn out exactly as I had hoped but it was quite interesting.
    Here is the post, if you are interested:
