WORKSHOP: "Try Poetry" with Jennifer Leong

  • Central Public Library – Programme Room 2 100 Victoria Street Singapore, 188064 Singapore (map)

If you do not consider yourself a poet, nor have you been writing poetry, join us to try poetry!

Embark on a new journey in the Arts through poetry writing. This workshop is for anyone who is new to poetry and who would like to have some fun in expressing themselves through short poetry forms or work in a group to create a long collaborative poem.

Outline of the workshop:
1. Introduction to short poetry forms such as haiku, tanka, and limerick.
2. Hands-on writing haiku either individually or in a group.
3. Understand the elements of made-in-Singapore poetry forms.
4. Hands-on writing short 4-line stanzas/poems based on a theme.
5. Merge the 4-line stanzas into a long collaborative poem.
6. Go with the flow!
