BOOK - Inspired by What Eric Knew by James Howe

A Ring of Circle Comes She Back
(Resulting Poem - See on this website as example.)

I would like to teach you how to take a book and write a poem. The first thing is to read the book and write notes on what you find interesting in each chapter and learn the gist of the theme and then write something that you associate with the book and what it means to you.

I have taken this book and took something about several aspects in the book and made the poem a mystery and something that cause you to read the book and find associate values that cause you to continue using books to bounce ideas from and write and compose a unique rendition of your own.

What you are using are active verbs (these are verbs that indicate these are things that are done (or doing something) and let your thoughts go for anything goes in your poem, prose and poetry.

The key is that these words are used differently than regular English and are descriptive but unusual in context and usage.

Ask me if you have questions…Imani and I will try to teach you.

Ok. Love You.
