Imagist Poem

In this poem, I attempted to emulate the Red Wheelbarrow by William Carlos William, specifically his simplistic writing style that focuses on imagery.

I emphasised the simplicity through enjambement by breaking up the 3 sentences that made up the piece. Additionally, I started a new stanza for almost every sentence, save for the last clause.

Poem:

Roasted Ethiopian

 

Brown, velvety, richness

coating my tongue.

 

A life source

for all students

 

Running through my

veins,

 

keeping me alive.
