Your Cisneros-like poems are due tomorrow. Again, steps to completing the poem are as follows:
1. Think of a person you have only in your memory.
2. Brainstorm a list of concrete objects that remind you of the person.
3. Use the list to create a poem. Imitate Cisneros's "Abuelito Who". That is, USE METAPHOR to compare the objects in your list to the person about whom you are writing.
4. Give your poem a title: "________ Who"
I hope you're reading this because you are working on your own blog!
