  7. Persona (Mask) Poems. . .Imagine objects speaking to us. . . The Pacific I am a deep blue sigh I wonder why they gather there. I hear their cries of triumph. I’ve seen others like them on different shores. I want to understand their upraised arms and dancing feet.  I touch their feet with foaming fingers. I try to tease them into joining me. I cry when they pull away. I understand now, I must teach them how to greet me. I am a deep, dark roaring water I send them scampering for shelter. Group Four

  8. Group Five Now Try One for a Landmark in one of the books What might it sound like? What does it? What secrets does it know that we do not know? What might it want to tell us? These questions are the sparks for poems written in the voice of a place. Would it speak in long lines? Short lines? What sounds might it make when it speaks?
