This learning resource focuses on exploring various forms of poetry, specifically the Haiku, Tanka, Bio Poem, and Diamante poem. The learning objective is for students to identify the characteristics of these poetry forms and create original poems following their structures.

Each section includes definitions, structural guidelines, examples, and prompts for students to draft their own poems.
