Many poets use nature as inspiration for their pieces or use nature to explain abstract ideas like love and loss. Nature is often used in British Poetry. Shakespeare uses a summer's day to describe a woman and love. Tennyson uses decaying woods to explore mortality and immortality.

This assignment has two parts:

In two to three paragraph, write a narrative story that includes an experience you had in nature or with nature. Use strong images and sensory language.

Then write a poem where you use your experience in nature to explain an abstract idea or situation.
