Avoid abstract imagery and go for concrete descriptions of people, places, and things in your poem. You should always try to describe something using the five senses: smell, taste, touch, sight, and sound. Using concrete imagery will immerse your reader in the world of your poem and make images come alive for them. For example, rather than try to describe a feeling or image with abstract words, use concrete words instead. Rather than write, “I felt happy,” you may use concrete words to create a concrete image, such as, “My smile lit up the room like wildfire.” Literary devices like metaphor and simile add variety and depth to your poetry. Using these devices can make your poem stand out to your reader and allow you to paint a detailed picture for your reader. Try to use literary devices throughout your poem, varying them so you do not use only metaphors or only similes in your writing. Poetry is made to be read out loud and you should write your poem with a focus on how it sounds on the page. Writing for the ear will allow you to play with the structure of your poem and your word choice. Notice how each line of your poem flows into one another and how placing one word next to another creates a certain sound  For example, you may notice how the word “glow” sounds compared to the word “glitter.” “Glow” has an “ow” sound, which conjures an image of warmth and softness to the listener. The word “glitter” is two syllables and has a more pronounced “tt” sound. This word creates a sharper, more rhythmic sound for the listener. Your poetry will be much stronger if you avoid cliches, which are phrases that have become so familiar they have lost their meaning. Go for creative descriptions and images in your poem so your reader is surprised and intrigued by your writing. If you feel a certain phrase or image will be too familiar to your reader, replace it with a more unique phrase. For example, you may notice you have used the cliche, “she was as busy as a bee” to describe a person in your poem. You may replace this cliche with a more unique phrase, such as “her hands were always occupied” or “she moved through the kitchen at a frantic pace.”

Q: One of the best things you can do to help stop pollution is to stop using your car for short trips. If the weather is nice and you don’t have too far to go, consider walking or riding your bike. You will help reduce air pollution and you will get some exercise and fresh air in the process. Riding the bus, train, or subway is another great way to avoid using your personal vehicle and reduce carbon emissions. If you have access to good public transportation where you live, take advantage of it. Since you won’t have to worry about keeping your eyes on the road, you can take advantage of the time to read, catch up on news, or just relax. Making lots of little trips over the course of a few days contributes more pollution to the environment every time you hop in your car. Instead of running your errands over the course of a few days, try to consolidate them into one round trip. Consolidating your trips into one long trip will also save you money since starting your car when the engine is cold consumes 20% more fuel than driving your car. Long commutes to school or work are just part of life for many people. If walking and public transportation are not good options for you, consider joining a carpool to your school or place of work. By taking turns driving and riding with others, you will reduce carbon emission and you will also save on gas money each week. Carpooling is also a great way to develop friendships with your coworkers and reduce the stress of your commute. In addition to finding ways to use your car less, keeping your car in good condition can also help reduce carbon emissions. As an added bonus, keeping your car in good condition will also help avoid more major problems with your vehicle. Get regular maintenance on your car to keep it running well.  Get an oil change every three months or 3,000 miles. Keep tires inflated according to your vehicle’s recommendations. Get your air, oil, and fuel filters changed according to your vehicle’s recommendations. Unsafe driving habits also contribute to pollution, so by becoming a safer driver you can help reduce air pollution. Safe driving habits can also save you money by reducing the amount of fuel that your car wastes. When you are behind the wheel, remember to be safe by:  Applying gentle pressure to gas and accelerating slowly Driving at or below the speed limit Keeping your speed steady (Try using cruise control, if you have it.) Giving yourself plenty of time to stop Electric cars run on electricity alone, so they are zero emission vehicles and the best at not releasing emissions. Hybrid cars use a combination of electricity and fuel to run. While electric cars are the least polluting, both options will help stop pollution. Although they still use some gas to run, hybrid cars have much better fuel economy than regular cars and emit fewer greenhouse gases than traditional cars. They also require less maintenance than gas powered cars.  Keep in mind that the purchase price of electric and hybrid cars is higher than most conventional cars. Electric cars can be charged at home, which is advantageous for those who have solar panels at home.
A: Walk or ride your bike whenever possible. Use public transportation. Consolidate your trips. Carpool to school or work. Get regular maintenance on your vehicle. Drive safely. Consider purchasing an electric or hybrid car for your next vehicle.

Article: Eating and drinking small amounts throughout the day allows the digestive system to slowly break down food and drink. Eating a big meal or drinking a large amount of liquid can overwhelm the digestive system, increasing the risk of a symptom outbreak.  Try to eat 5 to 6 small meals throughout the day. For example, a small meal could be a serving of yogurt or applesauce. It could also be a serving of low-fiber cereal.  It can be hard to stay hydrated if you have Crohn's disease, as you can lose a lot of fluids due to diarrhea. To avoid this, try to drink a 12 ounce glass of water every hour or so. This gradual intake will help you stay hydrated. Bouts of Crohn's disease symptoms can often be controlled with diet. Because the condition is rooted in the gut, the foods you eat can have a direct effect on the severity of your symptoms. If you are having a flare-up, try to eat low-residue foods. These are foods that are easily digested, such as skinless potatoes, well-cooked vegetables, and plain white bread.  There is no specific Crohn's disease diet that you must follow. Your diet should be individualized to your specific triggers and your condition. It's important that you get enough protein and calories through your diet. There are certain foods that are often the cause of symptom flare-ups. These are foods that are hard to digest or foods that irritate the lining of the digestive system. Some foods to avoid include:  High-fiber foods, such as bran, nuts, seeds, and popcorn Fatty, greasy foods, such as butter, margarine, and heavy cream. You should be eating less than 80 grams of fat per day. Dairy products Foods that cause gas, such as beans Everyone who has Crohn's disease will have specific foods that trigger their flare-ups outside of the general foods you are warned to avoid. In order to figure out exactly what it causing you to have symptoms, keep a journal of what you eat every day. You can then refer to the journal and figure out what caused the symptoms. It may take several bouts of symptoms to figure out exactly what is causing them. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies are common with Crohn's disease. You can make up for these deficiencies by taking supplements. Some supplements you may want to start taking are:  Folic acid supplements. Vitamin D3 supplements. Iron supplements. Fish oil supplements. Talk to your doctor about which vitamin and mineral supplements are best for you.
