Imagism
A type of poetry that uses clear and direct statements in order to put an exact picture in the reader's head. A poem that is written using the imagism style should easily and quickly create visual images that tell the story.
Like a damp bath-towel,
a wet mist wraps itself around my shoulders
and my spine shudders at its touch.
A skim-milk sky retains a bluish tinge
as a yellow sun swims behind a reef of clouds
absorbing its light like a thirsty sponge.
And I see my world through a grey lens
that distorts my vision,
like I'm wearing the wrong prescription glasses.
There is no color, other than shades of gray,
it's as if Autumn’s heart was pierced,
and it all bled away.
