Poem for Two Voices

 

Select two main characters from the book Peter and the Starcatchers and compose a poem for two voices.  Think of something that the characters might have different views about.  Then, get them to talk to one another.  Use the poem by Paul Fleischman or Allan Wolf as a model for your writing. To read Fleischman’s and Wolf’s poems, you need two voices.  Lines written across from one another are read together. Although these poems rhyme, yours doesn’t have to. In addition, you are invited to include an artistic representation that symbolizes a theme in your poem.

 

You may want to write your poem with a partner.  You might also want to write a poem for three or even four voices.
