Each section is like a scene in a play or story with it's own set of 'rules' followed by the writer. Words are not always rhyming, patterns with words can sometimes be seen, and other times there is both recognizable. This book taught me that poetry can be whatever the author wants as long as it conveys an emotion.

Love That Dog
We read and discussed Love That Dog by Sharon Creech, which is a novel and supposedly one large poem. I did not see this as I saw many poems, some understandable, and others not quite. It is written in the format of a teacher taking a student's writing and helping him understand that poetry is not hard nor scary. It in turned help me see that as well.
