Dear Poets,

Poets care about language. Poets care about saying things in new ways. Poets care about showing us things we have never seen before, or showing us old, worn out things in a new and exciting ways.

Today we’ll continue to read and write poems about the moon. Humans have watched the moon’s same “courtly fashion” since we’ve been around. What new things could we possibly say about it? Poets find a way.

“A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language.”–W.H. Auden

Sincerely,

Mr. H
