This is also a great poetry exercise. Choose a mundane item and write a poem about it without naming it.

This is one of the poems I wrote like that:

"Sweet Addiction"

Steam rising and dancing

Across the rippling midnight pool

The welcome caress of vapors

Sensual and inviting,

The warming embrace of aroma

Now flooding ethereal white

Swirling deep to rise

Till clink, tink, clank, chink

The pool now renders

A devine decoction

That distillation of welcoming dawn

Smooth and rich and just right sweet

Porcelain vessel of joy!

Or this one…

"Bricks"

Red and brown and black

From earth of sand and clay

Fired, piled high and stacked

In lyme and sand, row upon row to stay

Reaching high and standing strong

Standing tall and proud and fine

Warm and safe in Winters long

Stands ‘gainst gales or hot sunshine

Stair-stepping and interlocking

Rough and sharp and clean and squared

Together creating strength so shocking

Sheltering frail futures shared.
