Writing Prompt: A Tribute to Your Favorite Poet

Read a brief biography of the poet and re-read your favorite poems by them. Use each of these exercises to write a poem in tribute to your favorite poet. You can write a poem about the poet or write a poem which embodies some element or the essence of what you perceive as their style.
