Answer 1

pick an image...like a birds nest or lions den
something that can be related to your theme

like a soloist winding down like an astronaut homeward bound

Answer 2

Imagery is the use of descriptive words to create a visual image in the poem. Examples of imagery are...

"A bed, unmade and messy, but covered in sunlight from the open window."
"A steaming plate of food, freshly prepared and smelling great."
"A tired dog, its tongue lolling, its eyes beginning to close."

Think about your home. What do you see when you walk in the door? When you enter the kitchen? When you go to sleep? Walk from room to room and try to describe what you see in detail.

Instead of "I see a chair" say something more descriptive and poetic, like "A chair, old and worn, the color of Christmastime cinnamon."

Get it? Basically you need to describe your home. Think of the five senses. What do you smell, hear, taste, see and feel? Also, what emotions do you feel about your home? Does it make you feel proud, safe, happy or lonely?

Keep in mind that a poem calls for good ryhtym and flow, and I'm sure you'll do well!

A home is like a heart. A home is like coming back to your own galaxy after an intergalactic trip.
Or like a bed when your tired.
Like food when you are hungry.
Like water when you are thirsty.
Like comforting arms around you when you feel lonely.
Like a deep breath in the summer.
