Poet-playwright-teacher Kenneth Koch, author of "Wishes, Lies and Dreams," an anthology of children's poetry, shows how children can write poetry. He explains his teaching techniques and demonstrates the writing of poetry with a group of children utilizing the possibilities in a television studio. Themes: the basic idea is not to hold up adult poetry as a model to be imitated but to recreate the idea of poetry in children's terms. For example: "class collaboration" poetry in which each person writes one line and the lines are then chained together, short poems written in response to lights in the studio being changed, "Wish" poems for "form, but no rhymes allowed because children's rhyme poems tend to turn into jingles or sing-song." "Comparison poems" like "I am as bad as my good brother", "My clock is as white as snow". "Noise poems" like "A yoyo sounds like a bearing in a machine." Poems that compare past and present, like "I used to be a book but now I am a lady bug." Imaginings, like "Oh dog how do you feel with hair? Dear master, I feel warm." Assignment: Describe your most secret self. The kids are shown their faces on a TV monitor which distorts and changes them. Poem by one girl: "My deep down part is where all my wishes, lies and dreams are." See also: "Rose, Where Did You Get That Red?." Air Date: 5/5/74. 28 mins. Produced and Directed by Merrill Brockway.
