Listening ActivityListening Activityanywhere. Someone more beautiful follows with eyes the color of caramel, the color of denim, cornflower, topsoil, overtone of carmine, new leaf, hair the color of bittersweet, patent leather. Over your shoulder should you choose to look she lolls on the grass sunning, her tongue on loose, her eyes closed, no wrinkles shouting age age at the corners. Bow to her. Whisper, "nice day" whisper "milady brown tree' say "love me love me" and see how her shoulder dips to you, all the sudden hollows filling with silver wide eye flicking open then shutting askew on one color, your color: a sliver of bone a sluice of water, running.

Answer Structure $100Answer Structure $100 Variety of Possible Answers Closed-form poetry has a set structure
and often relies on rhyme. Some examples include haikus, odes, and sonnets.
Open-form poetry does not have a set structure and often has line breaks for emphasis, rather than rhyme. It is also called free verse.
