![]() Try different combinations. When the words you’ve chosen convey what you’d like and make you happy, your poem is complete. ![]() What needs to be added to complete the idea? Feel free to use parts of existing words (for example, the “exist” found in “existing”) or make new words by choosing letters (turning “exist” into “exit” by covering up the “s”). Then, look for ways to connect the interesting words and phrases you’ve selected. Do you see a theme? Are certain words calling to you? Does something spark an idea?Įrase the lines around words you decide you don’t need. Read what you’ve chosen and consider those words. Lightly box or circle interesting words or phrases (lightly, because you’re going to do a lot of erasing). It’s not important to actually read the page–in fact, I think the original text provides too much influence. How do you write the poem?Īfter I’ve torn out my page, I skim the text for interesting words or phrases. My cat, Baby Luv, enjoys poem time as much as I do. Sitting on the floor, in front of a big window, surrounded by pens and working on a portable lap desk, best suits me. The basics–pencil, eraser, small ruler, glue stick, sharpener–are easily stored and transported in a Blue Avocado reusable bag.Īlso important: dedicated work space. I’ve organized a container so all pen colors are visible.
