I enjoyed writing the Ipoem and could see the students loving this kind of poetry.  I think this poem is a great way to introduce certain poetry with the examples it provides and all students have to do is fill in their thoughts.  I also think that this type of poem can be an icebreaker to students who find it difficult in constructing their poems.  However, I believe that Ipoems is beneficial for in-class writing assignment at the beginning of the term when students are just getting acquainted with each other. It is very important for the teacher to introduce the Ipoem to the class by demonstrating an Ipoem before having the students do their own.  The class can participate in this that way they gather the experience in what the poem is and how to construct it as well.
