Look at van Gogh's Starry Night again. Write your own ekphrastic poem!- Describe the painting.
- What do you see? What's going on in the painting? Describe the colors. Describe the mood.
- How does the painting make you feel?
Read what you've written. Now, try using a simile or a metaphor in your poem. Maybe... use repetition and rhyming words, or tell a story about the painting. Like Cici, try writing from van Gogh's perspective. Also, think about line breaks: Where do you want to end a line, and where do you want to begin a new one?
Have fun! I can't wait to read what you've written!
