I liked this idea when I saw it but realized that I didn’t have a collection that would fit inside a box like that. They were too big or fragile or bulky so I began to think. Inspired by Lily’s wonderful Christmas gift I decided I would combine these ideas to make Poetry Presents. Follow the same directions up above, but instead of adding a collection, write a poem. It could be an original poem or an old favorite that you want to illustrate. Have fun creating and writing.
