This week will a little more challenging for me. I am taking my poems away from paper and pen or computer screen and keyboard. The poems will be constructed from other elements. Not long ago I saw a fellow WordPress blogger do this–excuse me, in all my glory I forgot to write down the blogger’s name, but if you read this… Thank you for the inspiration. They constructed poems from hardback book titles. I thought this was an interesting idea. I did something similar with Storybird a couple years ago. You were given a picture and a preset vocabulary, and you had to come up with a poem from that. So I am going to scour my books and movies, and see if I can create magic within their titles. I will also use headlines from magazine articles, maybe even create a ransom note style poem from words found in a magazine. I will also look into maybe writing a poem on my skin… even though that would be using a eyeliner pencil… it would limit the canvas to my skin. I think this could be fun and challenging, and I would truly be getting inspiration from my surroundings.
