POETRY WORKSHOP WITH A TWO YEAR OLD

by Judy Hardin Cheung

What is the definition of Abstract Imaging
    Don’t drink out of dog’s bowl.
I think this poem needs more contrasting allusions.
    Write on your hand and I’ll take the pen away.
I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.
    Leave the dog’s tail alone.
Isn’t the basic concept of abstraction the use of metaphor?
    Oh no, did you do it in your pants?
But how can we accomplish that?
    Put it down before you drop it.
Senryu is beneficial in learning to condense imagery.

Look, he is showing
the dog how to eat corn chips
licking from the floor
