Offering Poetry Lessons

As a teacher and Occupational Therapist, I have both taught and used poetry-writing as a form of therapy for improving quality of life through self-expression which facilitates healing holistically. I would like to offer my services to members of Steemit, based on a lifetime of experience. I will be posting individual lessons for interested members to take at their leisure. Members have the option of doing the lessons on their own or posting the assignment under the 'comments' section or sending it to me for each lesson and I will give feedback as soon as possible.

Below is an outline of the lessons that I teach in both a beginning and more advanced format. I will start with the beginning lessons first. There is a quiz for every two lessons and a final quiz at the end. I will be posting articles to help students with each lesson. I will also be holding contests periodically. Please show me if you are interested by posting in the comments below.
