  1. Creative Writing What happens at the end of a line of poetry when you do not end with a punctuation mark?

  2. Enjambment • The running-over of a sentence or phrase from one poetic line to the next, without terminal punctuation; the opposite of end-stopped. William Carlos Williams’s“Between Walls” is one sentence broken into 10 enjambed lines:

  4. Break this poem up into lines and stanzas the back wings of the hospital where nothing will grow lie cinders in which shine the broken pieces of a green bottle

  5. “Between the Walls” (by William Carlos Williams) the back wings of the hospital where Nothing will grow lie cinders in which shine the broken pieces of a green bottle

  6. Try once more… • It still makes sense to know the song after all. My wiseness I wear in despair of something better. I am all beggar, I am all ears. Soon everything will be sold and I can go back home by myself again and try to be a man.

  7. “The Song” (by Robert Creeley) It still makes sense to know the song after all. My wiseness I wear in despair of something better. I am all beggar, I am all ears. Soon everything will be sold and I can go back home by myself again and try to be a man.

  8. You try… • Write two poems with short lines (like Williams and Creeley) that have at least three instances of enjambment • The poems must be between 10-15 lines long • After you’ve written the poem, type it in Plaintext and follow the instructions on the next page

  9. Plaintext, Photos, Photoshop, Dropbox • Write your poem in the Plaintext app TITLE IT WITH YOUR NAME!!! • Take a screen shot • Open the photo in the Photoshop app • Crop the photo so that it shows the whole poem and only the poem • Upload the photo to Dropbox, Mr. Negley, CW 4B

  10. Comments • Comment on three poems • 1. Write the title of the poem • 2. What do you think of the poem? • 3. Where is the enjambment effective? Why? • 4. Provide one suggestion (where would you break—line or stanza—the poem differently or where you might take something out to make the poem flow better)
