Week Five

Prompt #1 PICS

*Choose a photo from the stack (below) that you want to work with. 

Part 1

Make a list of what you see in the image. What you see doesn’t have to be explicitly depicted (i.e. feelings).

Part 2

Write about the image as if you’ve known it forever. Maybe try explaining it to someone like you really need them to understand it.

Part 3

Write to completely dismantle the image. Try to untangle/unravel.

*Find someone to switch pictures with, or get a new one from the stack.

Part 4

With your new image, repeat Part 1.

Part 5

Write backwards toward the image. 

Part 6

Write about the image in a way that’s wrong, a way that makes no sense. 

Part 7

Feel free to repeat prompts on either image.

Using what you’ve written today, make as many two-line poems as you can.

Prompt #2 HOMEWORK

Reflect on what you’ve written over the last few weeks. Choose one poem or piece of text to record yourself reading (up to 3 minutes). Additionally, choose a song, or make a field recording that somehow supports/speaks to your writing. Send your audio recordings/songs to kayanneph@gmail.com, in order to be included in a special audio component of the poetry club publication!
