Color isn’t just for painters—poets use it to create vivid, memorable imagery, and powerful metaphors. In this workshop, we’ll read poems that showcase the art of description through color, inspiring you to see the world with fresh eyes. You’ll write to focused prompts, share your work, and receive supportive feedback. By the end, you’ll leave with one or more original poems and strategies to infuse your writing with imagination, insight, and deeper emotional resonance. This class is perfect for poets of all levels seeking to enrich their craft and spark creativity.
Objective: Skill Development, Creativity Enhancement
