WRITING ASSIGNMENT Instructor: Poet, Nancy Simpson





WRITING ASSIGNMENT.

It is January, and it is the coldest day of the year. Your car stalled. You have to walk the rest of the way home, carrying something heavy. It is not your only burden on this cold day. Write a poem or write a scene for a short story.
