No requirement.
Learn to write dreamy and imaginative poetry that inspires readers and takes them to new worlds.
Create beauty with your writing and give the gift of inspiration to others.
What you will learn
We'll start with poetry basics like similes, rhyming, metaphors, and building imagery. We will also explore the brain science of what makes people feel certain feelings. We'll combine the science with philosophy to help you understand what goes on in the mind of a reader or listener.
We'll write a poem
As you make your way through the course, you and I will write a poem together. We'll start with a 1-line image. We'll expand that into a 3-line Haiku. After that, we'll turn that into a short 4-line poem, and I'll show you how to grow your poetry beyond that.
