I love to do exercises that get me writing in a way that I'm less familiar with. For you non-poets out there, here's something that will help you get out of your comfort zone and stretch your little-used poetry muscles (we all have them, but we don't all use them).
Write a list poem!
A list poem is simply a list of related things in the form of a (usually) rhyming poem. Check out my
summer poem and/or my
200th blog post to see some examples, then try one yourself.
Have fun with your list-writing!
Time to write
ReplyDeleteTime to clean
Don't forget the time between
This and that
That and This
Summer days will soon be missed
Today's post at the @ was a poem.
ReplyDeletePlease tell Miss J that I think her 'R' art is very nice. Thanks!
Sheri--thanks for playing along!
ReplyDeleteAngie--I read your poem. Those few words really say a lot!
Great idea!
ReplyDeleteOh, never tried one of those. Let's see...
ReplyDeleteMy sister is good
at memory games
and feeding her dolls
and giving them names
She's good at swimming
and riding a bike
and finding her way
when we go for a hike
She's good at snapping
and climbing a tree
I'd be good too
but... I am just fwee.
Cute, Corey!
ReplyDeleteLove the "fwee."
