Your turn!

• Choose an image that is inspirational to you.• I suggest using a photo so you may submit

the photo with your poem—otherwise you will have to draw your image too!

• Write an imagist poem using at least 14 words and 2 different senses.

• Consider form and diction as you minimize your word usage and express a high emotion

Remember, Imagist Poems…

• Evoke Emotion• Spark Imagination• Use Limited, but VIVID images• Are brief, but meaningful
