FEELINGS FRIDAY!! MARY'S POETRY EXTRAVAGANZA OF FEELINGS NOT FOR LITTLE BABIES!!
3rd Prompt: Letters!
First off: YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! Thank you for all of your wonderful poems last week, little lambies.
I picked some favorites and put excerpts on my site!
I am so so so excited for this week's prompt, I can barely contain myself. This week, I want you to write a letter. Not a letter to your crush or your boo or your cute mom- this one is very different. And of course, a little complicated. That's why it's not for little babies. YOU ARE CAPABLE AND SMART. SO ARE BABIES! BUT THEY CAN'T TYPE YET!
Instructions:
1. Think of an inanimate object. Something you like looking at, eating, touching, something that speaks to you, something that you, you know, would enjoy writing a poem about (a bridge, shoes, ceiling fan, a mango)
2. Think of a second object- one that interacts with your first object. (Ex. Skyscraper to bird, coffee to MY MOUTH, ocean to cruise ship, gluten free pie to MY MOUTH, also I'm hungry)
3. Write a letter from one object to another.
4. If you want, write a response from the 2nd object to the first!
I nabbed this exercise from a poem in Rose McAleese's book "Strong. Female. Character." The poem is called "Match and Flame". Hear it below or read it on my website: www.marylambertsings.com
Check out Rose's stuff here! Also Shira Erlichman ("Uninvented Invention" from last week) has a neat website and SHE TEACHES POETRY!
Have fun with this prompt! When you've chosen your objects, make sure you give them life! What is their history? How did they come to be? Are they lonely? Are they blissful? Are they nostalgic? What is their relationship to the second object? Lovers? Friends? Second cousins??
As always, you can keep these poems very close to your heart and keep as your own, or you can share with me, and I'll pick my favorites next week! [email protected]
Thank you for your bravery,
xoxo
