tend to involve memorable appeals to the senses of sight, touch, taste, hearing or smell, whether through description or metaphor.Make form work for you. A lyric poem aims for feelings more than thoughts, so the caress of rhyme or the seductive swing of rhythm--indeed, any kind of regular repetition of the sounds of language--can be useful in helping move your reader. I'd love to see sonnets, villanelles, ballad stanzas, chants, refrains, or poems in unusual metres for this workshop.
