Sunday Picnic With Unexpected Plums

Sunday, every Sunday, let's have a community picnic. It's probably been a long week, and it's lovely to have a few minutes to sit back and relax and enjoy some good conversation in a less formal space. Feel free to bring something for the Picnic Basket - a poem you liked this week, a thought you had or something you experienced, or even something completely unrelated to poetry whatsoever that you just feel like sharing. Just take a moment to say hello, and maybe have a bite to eat; no one is going anywhere fast, and the shade promises some relief from the everyday heat. Let’s get to know each other a bit better, here under the branches of the poet’s tree.

Re: Poetry exercise

I've done that in one of my classes before. Not always my preferred process, but hopefully others find it interesting!

I suspect that, for me, that exercise would be more thought-provoking than poetry-creating but not necessarily the worse for that, heh.

I tend to find the only exercise that helps me write poetry is: (1) turn mind to poetry, (2) write poetry.... ;-)
