We started our look at poetry by doing some Found Art poetry. Found poetry can be any words that we find in the world. Signs can be poetry. Collections of words. Anything can be poetry! We took a book, opened to a random page and pointed. Then, we wrote down the next three or four words we saw. We collected a whole bunch of them and voted on which one we like the best. The winner was; a house or a tree.
