Choose one of the following:
#1 Write a poem expanding on one of the similes that you created for #1
#4 Describe an activity--cleaning the house, fishing, painting a picture, bathing a child, dancing, cooking a meal -- which could serve as a metaphor for your life, or how you are in the world.
#6 Write a brief 7-10 line poem with an abstract title: Loneliness, Fear, Desire, Ecstasy, Greed, Suffering, Pleasure. Make the poem a metaphor for the title, without using the abstraction in the poem.
