HSHSP Ep 62: Writing Poetry- Your Teen CAN Do It!

*Skill in focus

*Skill in adaptability

*Skill in creative thought

*and MORE

One of our favorite stories about learning to write poetry is when a young man who hated ALL kinds of writing, took our homeschool group poetry-writing class. He was certain that he could not write poetry, but in the fun of the class and textbook we were using, he gained confidence and found out he not only LIKED poetry writing, but he liked writing in general!
