Hopefully you were sufficiently inspired by yesterday’s creative writing prompt about borrowed text. Onward!
Creative Writing Weekend – Prompt #2
Write what is secret. Then write what is shared. Experiment with writing each in two different ways: veiled language and direct language. Experiment as well with the form of the poem: use verse and prose.
Look at the different works you’ve created from this exercise. How can they be combined? If they overlap, can you use repetition in your final poem to enhance its message?
Poetical inspiration from Marianne Moore:
My own revisions are usually the result of impatience with unkempt diction and lapses in logic, together with an awareness that for most defects, to delete is the instantaneous cure.
How are you feeling about your writing weekend so far?
