  2. And down the river's dim expanseLike some bold seer in a trance,Seeing all his own mischance—With glassy countenanceDid she look to Camelot.And at the closing of the dayShe loosed the chain, and down she lay;The broad stream bore her far away, The Lady of Shalott. The Lady of Shallot Part IV Alfred Lord Tennyson, 1832 The Lady of Shallot John William Waterhouse, 1888

  3. Blue I. Juan Miro,1962

  5. I would like to be a dot in a painting by Miro.By MonizaAlvi I would like to be a dot in a painting by Miro.Barely distinguishable from other dots,it's true, but quite uniquely placed.And from my dark centreI'd survey the beauty of the linescapeand wonder -- would it be worthwhileto roll myself towards the lemon stripe,Centrally poised, and push my curvesagainst its edge, to give myselfa little attention?But it's fine where I am.I'll never make out what's going onaround me, and that's the joy of it.The fact that I'm not a perfect circlemakes me more interesting in this world.People will stare forever --Even the most unemotional get excited.So here I am, on the edge of animation,a dream, a dance,a fantastic construction,A child's adventure.And nothing in this tawny skycan get too close, or move too far away.

  6. Using imagery to write poetry • Describe the picture and your impressions • Who or what would you like to be in your poem? You can be non-human, like a tree, a person in the painting, or an onlooker • Describe what you can see, smell, touch, taste and hear. Use as much descriptive language (imagery) as you can! • Reflect on how you feel. Are you happy? Sad? Angry? Excited? Why? • Speculate on your plans for the future
