Poetry can be used to exploit various aspects of the English language in the foreign and second language classroom. It can be harder to write than prose, but some simple forms can be just as easy and fun to write. Besides it will give the students the opportunity to explore language, organise ideas, manipulate structure and vocabulary and give free rein to their imagination and feelings.
