Two -Voice Poetry
What is a Two-Voice poem?
A two-voice poem is a poem written in three columns, where two different perspectives are explored as in a dialogue. The purpose of a two-voice poem is to show the different perspectives as well as similarities of two sides. These poems are meant to be read out loud, in pairs, where the voices alternate/ take turns, and sometimes speak in unison.
How do I write poetry for two voices?
Just like all poetry, poems for two voices need an idea. Your two voices will come from our unit on the Titanic.
