DUE NEXT WED IN WRITER’S WORKSHOP
1. Write 2 poems, inspired by “Love That Boy” by Walter Dean Meyers and “Red Wheelbarrow” by William Carlos Williams. If you didn’t understand the Red Wheelbarrow poem, don’t worry, but consider these questions:
- why would he write about something as mundane (read: common, ordinary) as a red wheelbarrow?
- why would be say, “so much depends on a red wheelbarrow”?
- who or what do you think depends on this wheelbarrow?
- what other mundane objects, tools, or things in our lives have “so much” that depend on them; so much meaning that we probably overlook?
- is it possible that we over look the little things for some reason?
- what is the red wheelbarrow in your life…..?
Now, write a poem that is inspired by his mundane but meaningful poem about the red wheelbarrow. Here is a copy of the two poems.
