Read Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven" aloud, or Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "Paul Revere's Ride." Experience the meter and rhyme scheme, the relentless rhythm of these poems. Now write a poem on whatever you want and see what happens. Try this after reading e.e. cummings ("since feeling is first," "Chanson Innocente"), Emily Dickinson ('I died for beauty,' 'Hope is the thing with feathers'), or Robert Frost ("Birches," "Nothing Gold Can Stay") Live in the poem while you read it, then move outside and dance.
