An Ode To Lemonade
This piece was the first poem I wrote this semester. The goal was to write a poem with only enjambed lines. I wanted to celebrate the lemonade and capture that sensation of dozing off with a cool drink in the Sun. Another thing I wanted to try was to come up with as many euphemisms I could for a lemonade without actually using the word “lemonade” in the poem. The poem starts with an alliteration and the internal rhymes give it a definitive rhythm. The goal for revision in this piece was to replace the cliched “chill down my spine” with something that evoked a similar sensation.
