Construction Exercise
Write a poem in which you literally build or take apart something for the reader. Describe each step of the process for the reader, incorporating technical terms and descriptions of materials. Create a lyric or narrative poem that “shows” the reader how it’s done.
You pick up the pen,
Reluctantly.
Your hands tremble but you are determined,
–despite you’re reservations.
A stroke is made,
Black and alarming against the white, colourless expanse.
A wide smile spreads itself across your face,
‘Progress!’ you mutter.
This is when you look up at me,
Once beaming face unsure.
‘Can I stop now?’
(This is a exercise I found on the internet, it's pretty fun! :) )
