Summary

George Dyer's letters to young Terrance "T" Adams explains what poetry is, how to collect ideas for poems, and how to have fun writing them. There are many fun games to play, and the delightful illustrations illustrate the poetry. Great for teachers showing their students on the art of writing poetry.
