| List ten concrete nouns, preferably everyday things (e.g., corn, room, towel, moon, chain, etc.) and ten present tense, active verbs (e.g., drip, bloom, swim, flare, floats, etc.). Draw lines arbitrarily connecting a noun with a verb and make a metaphor (e.g., the corn swims, the towel blooms, the moon flares, the chain drips, the room floats). Pick one or two of the examples and write several lines developing the metaphor. |
