Welcome to Day 10
Day 10:
Reading poems is daily fuel for my writing practice.
I have my students read poems whether they are 7 or 77.
Read TO BE OF USE
Notice what pops.
Write beginning with this line, “The people I love the best”
Who are the people you love best?
Set your timer for 10 minutes….and GO!
Happy Writing!
Reflection on your writing:
What surprised you?
Is there something else you want to create now?
Did you use all the senses or just certain ones? Why do you think that might be?
Which Accountability Level Will You Choose?
[You can choose differently each day!]
Just create and keep it for yourself!
Hit reply and send your piece or a picture to me! I will read/look at it and send you good vibes and a thank you.
Find a buddy. Send the email to a friend and send each other your creations.
Post in the comments.
Happy creating!
I love the 10-minute time frame. Amaze yourself with what you can get done!
One of the poems I've committed to memory (and featured when I blog), the last two lines give me my mantra: "The pitcher cries for water to carry/and a person for work that is real." Thanks to Tom Romano for opening class with that poem one fateful summer day and you for this prompt.
Today's poem started off a little dark for me. "The people I love the best / do not love me back the same way because / when I leap into love / I leap against the gravity / of logic and rational thought..." I feel this stanza needs a second echo or reflection to be complete. I might revisit this idea later as a sonnet. Thanks for the wonderful poem prompt today.
