Detehbe, The picture you're painting is one that I believe is beautiful! Although, I don't quite feel like you've used all of the colors on your palette. As a poet, your words paint a picture for the reader. Think of your poem as if it were a novel. Now think of your poem as an entire novel sliced into half of a page or less. Similar to the way a painter tells a story with each stroke of the brush, you must do the same with each word in your poems. This, like anything else worth learning, is not an easy task, but I promise you that your poetry will be on a completely different level once you begin painting! I challenge you to paint in your next poem. Here is a link to an awesome article that explains each technique: http://voices.yahoo.com/imagery-writing-metaphors-similes-personification-164889.html Also, don't forget that you have plenty of resources here on Power Poetry! Under the "Resource" tab at the top of your page is a subtitle that says "Famous Poets". I encourage you to see how they use each literary technique as well! Keep writing and stay in touch! I'd love to see your progress!
