Poetry Power Lab is a four-week creative writing workshop where grades 6-9 turn vivid imagery, rhythm, and slam-style performance into a polished one-minute poem they’ll present live.

Turn your ideas into a one-minute slam poem through weekly word-games, lightning tips from Whitman & Hughes, and a final live showcase of your own voice.

Discover how vivid images power a poem; play quick games that turn everyday objects into striking lines and draft your first 5–10-line piece.

Imagery Ignition

Feel the beat in spoken poetry, build a catchy refrain, and practice volume-and-gesture tricks that make words pop aloud.

Rhythm & Voice

Chop filler words, sharpen line breaks, swap feedback in small circles, and polish a tight 60-second slam script.

Edit & Workshop

Run a final tech check, perform your one-minute poem for classmates, vote on fun badges, and set a personal next-poetry goal.
