#2: Initial revision
- The kinds of poetry: blank verse, free verse, structured (limericks/sonnets/haiku etc.) - Rhyme and meter: when they matter, when they don't, when to violate, when Mr. Pritchard should be told to suck pipe - Sounds: beginning/ending, alliteration, repetition, opening/closing and rising/falling vowels, consonants, how syllables create or interrupt flow and rhythm - Puns, double entendres, and other wordplay - My poetry teacher always talked about _paring away:_ remove as much as you can, distill as much as you can, so that every word is meaningful and no words are extra. - Shakespeare, because you can't talk about poetry without talking about the Bard _More advanced:_ - Enjambments: how to use them and violate them for effect and meaning - How to use extra white space, extra returns, and oddball formatting for effect and meaning
