What are you making?
Love, a mess, a decision? A quilt, a cake, a machine? Are you making it up? Making do? Making no sense? Making breakfast after a breakup? Making off with your boyfriend's sister's scarf?
Begin your poem or story or song with "I'm making..."
For repetition, use "I'm making" at the beginning of each new line or section.
Today's prompt: big & small
To get started, free write a list of things that are big and things that are small.
Make a list of things that are invisible to you. How do you find them?
Possibilities:
1. Include at least one colour.
2. Include at least one question.
3. Say something impossible or absurd.
I've been so inspired by Hoa Nguyen and the writing prompts she's given to our poetry group at the Banff Centre.This prompt comes from an exercise we did yesterday, and from "Question Manifesto" (read below), a poem developed with Hoa Nguyen by a group of poet participants in a seminar program founded to support conversation around aesthetics, resistance, and politics.
