Describe a flower garden, but do not use any color adjectives (i.e., don't use descriptive words like red, yellow, green). Ideas: Tell me how your body senses the garden? How does red feel? What is yellow? Imagine how it would feel to step into a flower garden without eyesight, then explain it to me. Get visceral...describe the scene either directly or indirectly. Be creative. :) Or go totally metaphorical with it. Think outside the box. Oh, and make it a micro-poem, too. Have fun!

Lost Garden

I touch the sharp thorn,

taste the trickling blood,

smell the coppery scent,

envision full bloom.

Can no longer see

glory of garden.

I say short prayer

for my love

who has perished.

The garden will die

and so will I.

Knife slices,

blood flows -

lost garden

of love.
