Goodbye

Your final step to completing the course!
7.6
Hello again. We hope you’ve enjoyed the course. Over the past three weeks, you’ve been on a journey that began with a single word and ended here with a complete poem. For those of you who wrote your first poem on this course, we’d like to say a particular thank you. Thank you for being brave and for taking these first steps. We hope that we’ve introduced you to some of the choices available to you when making a poem and shown you how every poem is unique to its maker, how your poem is unique to you. Well done for completing this course. If you’re interested in similar courses, you’ll find some links below.

But above all, now that you’ve started to write, please don’t stop. Keep writing. We hope you’ll keep making poems. Congratulations, and goodbye for now.
