It’s poetry T.I.M.E! Individuals use the T.I.M.E. format (T = Title, thought, and theme;  I = Imagery and figurative language; M = music and sound; E = emotion) to study a poet, collect poems that have a similar theme, and create a poetry collection to share with the class. Specific directions for the project, a checklist-style rubric, and worksheets are included in the packet. Although the referenced list of poets is not included, the project would work well with any poets that fit the parameters of your class.
