Follow this link to the page Poetry Elements
If you are finished, you will begin working with imagist poetry. Follow this link, and first try to identify if any of these 14 poetic elements are at work. Print these poems and mark them in the same way you did with the other poems. Then you are going to try to write your own imagist poem, focusing on creating one solid, vivid image in your poem.
