Now that you’ve selected a topic and a structure, write a draft of your poem.

Part D
If possible, share your poem with someone and get feedback. Show it to a classmate, a friend, a parent, a teacher, or another available reviewer. Then think about the feedback you received. Did the person you shared your poem with understand it? Did they like it?

Reflect on your poetry writing process. How do you think the structure and style of your poem will affect readers? Does the topic seem to fit with the structure? What was the biggest challenge you faced in writing your poem?
