Read the lines from "How I Learned English.” It was an empty lot
Ringed by elms and fir and honeysuckle . . .
In the field, a blue sky above them
Tipped with cirrus.

The imagery in these lines helps readers picture

how colorful and beautiful the setting is.
how thick and green the lot’s grass is.
how windy and warm the weather is.
how dry and dusty the land is.
