The Blue Door

Abstract

In this poem, the author writes about her response to seeing something unexpected. Wondering about it, she describes it in detail, including such contrasting sensory images as “A promise of warmth” and “A cool and calm retreat.” Compose a similar poem about a place you have encountered in your own environment. Incorporate contrast and sensory images into your description. “Blue color is everlastingly appointed by the Deity to be a source of delight.” -John Ruskin
