"I began to write poetry when my house filled up with too many people."
Listing poem:
Lacrosse
My dog
Pizza
Nolan
Flannel sheets
Warm showers
My bed
Root beer
Chocolate milk
My car
My grandpa, grandma and nana
Patty
Sperry's
Dressing well
Acoustic guitar
Clever lyrics
Rough voices
Fresh snow
Long skimboard rides
Going downhill (physically)
----------------
Begin a poem with this line:
These have I loved
and just write a list of things that you love, but in some detail (line or two per item). Use imagery, figures of speech, and unexpected details.
These have I loved: A fresh lacrosse ball, untouched by the stains of grass or turf. A large pepperoni pizza, with big round circles of meat and hot cheese, all doused in garlic and basil. Flannel sheets, so one needs not wear much to stay warm in cold nights
