MARIEMONT ELEMENTARY LIBRARY

Thematic Poem Text - These texts are written as a series of poems about a single topic.  Significantly, each of these texts is by a single poet (or in one case, two poets).  They are not collections of poems by various poets writing on the same topic.  The reason this is significant is that these texts can show writers a way of using poetry to write about many aspects of a single topic, as a single author.
