After each of you have found an image that interests you, moves you, or inspires you in some way you need to put on your creative pants, and yes - you guessed it - you are going to write a poem based on that photo! This writing activity should show you that absolutely anything can trigger writing inspiration; it's just that sometimes you need to take a deeper look at what you see, feel, hear, taste, and smell. So, my friends - from here on out there should be no whining about having nothing to write about because good ideas are everywhere!
You will need to post this poem (polished and revised, of course) to your blog by Friday at 4pm! I look forward to reading what you each write!

Poem-Writing Advice:
-Use imagery that paints pictures in the reader's mind
-Think about perspective; who is the speaker of your poem?
-Use poetic devices like similes, metaphors, alliteration, and personification to add life to your work
-Set the tone for your reader based on the diction (words) you use
-Use the 5 senses - sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell
-Try to make it rhyme!
