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.
Underfoot, the snapping sound
of frozen leaves
curse Winter's name
as my frosty footsteps
reduce them to memory.
Fluffy flakes of virgin snow
morph into swarms of ice pellets,
biting and stinging
like an infestation of army ants.
A wanton wind, like a jilted bride,
slaps my face with a vengeful hand.
And Autumn is stripped of color
like the skeletal trees She’s stripped of leaves.
And I feel the brunt of Winter's wrath
Descend, as She lays claim to Her icy domain.
