In this mini-assignment I got to create a poem based off of a photo of my choice found on the PicLit website.  I got to use literary devices in it such as alliteration, personification, similes, and metaphors.  The poem I did was about the ocean and how it can both be terrorizing and beautiful.  I found that my greatest strength in this was rhyming and using literary devices to express my feelings about the picture.  Next time I want to improve on my ability to use PicLits as it was very difficult and confusing for me at first.  Since this was my first PicLit I had some technical difficulties, but I was able to think through my problems with it and come up with solutions.  In this project I used the core competency of creative thinking  in figuring out ways that I could rhyme words, make them poetic, and make them descriptive.
