Same list as yesterday
A Few Suggestions:
1. In a notebook, make comments about how you feel about two or three of these words.
2. Use something from those notes to write a first line to your poem.
3. If that doesn’t suggest anything, then try doing the same with two or three more of the words.
Remember: persistence does pay off.
The words for this list were taken from a poem that may be found here:

New List!
A few suggestions:
1. Yes we are past the halfway mark, but need to counteract the let down, numbies, or blank mind symptoms that may occur. Pamper yourself today.
2. Take yourself out on an “artist’s date”. Go somewhere new to you, somewhere ‘colorful’,
or filled with movement you are not used to seeing or doing.
3. Writing is breathing and you can’t exhale without first inhaling. Use some time today to refresh and refuel. Then go look at the prompts.
Find a playground and swing on the swings!

New list, tomorrow…
A few tips:
1. How many of the words, or form of the words, can you string together and still remain coherent?
2. Use whatever statement you formed from tip #1 to begin your poem for today. You may add more of the words, or not, as you wish.
3. Can you find a short poetry form that will suit the words you’ve chosen?
Congratulations! We are a little over one third of the way through our adventure.
Same list as yesterday
A few tips:
1. Use one of the longer words for an acrostic.
2. If you are familiar with another language, use one of the words in that language to begin your poem.
3. Use the same word to begin all of your lines.
Writing is self-expression, as such, it is healing.
