I'm sorry to hear that some of you were not pleased with the substitute teacher, but I hope it was an overall good day. (Well, as good as it could be with out ME ;-) Just kidding )
Now for your homework...
I heard that some of you were having trouble understanding the prompt, so you should know that all I want is for you to think of the poem you have read for the past 2 days and try to write something similar to it. Please take a look at the prompt once more.
Imagine that you have been away from a special place that holds many memories for you. Write a brief conversation poem in blank verse in which you tell someone else how you feel as you return to this place for the first time in five years. Use a conversational tone.
Conversation poem: usu. A deeply personal meditation addressed to a silent listener or a loved one who is absent or asleep. A spontaneous utterance of the speaker’s thoughts and feelings.
Blank Verse: natural sounding, flowing style of poetry that echoes the rhythms of everyday speech. (do not worry about the iambic feet at this point)
