Reflection: Creative Thinking

For the Free Verse Poem, we were assigned to find at least one metaphor, one simile, one personification, and one alliteration to create based off an image. I picked an image with enough detail that would help me think of new ideas. Usually, the animal photos help me think of ideas for sentences, especially for the personification aspect. I researched some examples of metaphors and personification to help me create new sentences. I tried to think of a story between the fish and the shark.  When thinking of new ideas, I had to experiment with many sentences. After I created twelve sentences, I picked the top eight sentences to incorporate into my free verse poem.

I can improve my writing skills by looking at more detailed examples of personification, alliteration, similes, and metaphors. I can incorporate some of these ideas into helping me form my own sentences. I think I should focus on creating better metaphors especially because they are much harder than similes.
