Poetry Challenge #289-Once More With Feeling
There are so many quotes about revision, it leads one to wonder if dreaming up pithy things to say about revision is a classic way to avoid revision…
But, not this time!
I am 99.9 % positive that nothing has been published that has never been revised.
And so it’s time…
long past time….
Take a deep breath, take out a happy colored pen (or sharpen that Ticonderoga), and let’s get to it!
Poetry Challenge #289
Once More With Feeling
Pull out a fistful of poems you’ve written as a result of these 7-minute Poetry Prompts or otherwise.
Set a timer for one (or two) minute(s).
Skim through your last few poems, looking for a word or phrase that you like. If possible, find more than one! Circle it/them.
Set your timer for six minutes (seven if you’re generous). Write the word(s) or phrase(s) you collected into a new poem.
Start Writing!
Don’t Think About it, Revise it!
Cindy Faughnan and I began this 7-Minute Poetry Challenge 2400+ days ago. Now we take turns creating prompts to share with you. Our hope is that creatives—children & adults—will use our prompts as springboards to word play time. If you join us in the Challenge, let us know by posting the title, a note, or if you want, the whole poem in the comments.
