POEM STARTER

Write an imagism poem.

An imagism poem is often short and sweet as it describes the literal appearance of a scene. It avoids overly-wordy and poetic features like metaphor and symbolism.

He glances at me from across the room

Our eyes lock

One moment passes

Two…

I look away,

Defeated.
