Imagine that someone shows up on your door this Easter Sunday.  Who is it?  Describe their character physically, using the physical description to give hints about their personality.  What are they wearing?  How do they sit/stand/walk?  How do they speak?  Let the details flesh out your character, revealing who they are.  What makes this person unique?  And why are they at your door?  What do they want?

Saskatchewan poet, Gary Hyland, who died on Tuesday, said on his website: ‘Poetry is dangerous stuff.  It’s designed to shake up your mind.  Read enough of it, and you will become that dangerous entity – the thinking individual.’
