Austin Library 2021
Poetry Contest
All poems should be submitted in the Library Canvas Course. More details and information are included in the Canvas course.
Poems must be submitted to Mrs. Harris by April 16, 2021.
Add your poem to our Flipgrid
Be as creative as you want with this... for example: act out the poem, write the poem on the sidewalk using sidewalk chalk, or create a video on your computer.
Below are some websites where you might find some poems:

Blackout Poetry
I encourage you to try this out! Create your own blackout poetry and bring it to the library or share with me digitally. I would love to have some poems displayed outside the library.
You can come by the library and get a book page from me. You could also make a copy of one page of your favorite book to use, instead of the book itself.
What you will need:
- a page from an old book
- markers, paint, or crayons
- creativity
Watch the tutorial below, and see some examples. Blackout poetry can take many forms.
