Using Common Senses
April 7, 2009
Write a poem about a common experience (walking home from school, taking off in an airplane, waiting to be served at a restaraunt), and pay particular attention to when and how you conjur each of the five senses.

In revision, remove unnecessary description to emphasize the effect of your favorite lines. More >
