Write your own “Conversation Poem” of no fewer than 35 lines. You must include the four stages of the conversation poem, a surrogate figure, and include the following: concrete sensory language, a direct speaker, a specific location that grounds the poem. Your line lengths should be approximately those of Coleridge’s lines in “This Lime Tree Bower My Prison.”
Write your poem in the spirit of Coleridge’s work; it should be, generally speaking, a meditation on self-improvement and / or a consideration of one’s place in society, family, or the like; it may also be a meditation on inspiration.
