Journals #63-65

#63: Identify your favorite restaurant and explain in detail why you like it.  Or do the same for your least favorite restaurant.


#64 is a free write.


#65: Many poems are simple descriptions, or images, of ordinary things, or moments. Find inspiration in this room or building, locker, home… anywhere, and write a short poem using descriptive language. Here is an example of an imagist section of a poem:
I walk along a street, returning
at midnight from my unit. Meet a man
leaning against an illumined wall
and ask him for a light.
His open eyes
stay fixed on mine. And cold rain falling
trickles down his nose, his chin.

"Buddy," I begin...and look more closely--
and flee in horror from the corpse's grin.
