"I write to discover my soul...I read to discover yours." The poems you are about to read are written and selected by sixth graders from the Fairfield Middle School in Fairfield, Iowa. These students experimented with many types of poems, including tanka, cinquain, haiku, acrostic, bio, concrete, diamante, ocean research, magazine haiku, couplets, title down, color poems, holiday, and limericks. They did a wonderful job creating poems that expressed who they really are, and I'm proud of their willingness to share this part of themselves with others. I hope you enjoy reading their work as much...
