Poetry Sparks

Why yes, it IS a second entry. I’d thought I’d put up a list of ideas to help out with this poetry challenge of ours. Having trouble with inspiration? Try any of these. It’s certainly better than staring at a blank cursor.

1: Watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q50DKCe754A and try and write down what you are the lyrics they are chanting.

2: Count to 1000 outloud…What happened. What didn’t happen. Describe every feeling…and every thought

3: Think of ten things that flowers feel when little girls pick their petals off one by one.

 4: Write down what each of your close friends and family members would think of when they see this hair style http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mmBw3uzPnJI/SOyd5qb9CrI/AAAAAAAAUHA/2uGGMB9eRsY/s400/Weird_Hair_Styles_12.jpg (for added points think of what the hairstylist must have been thinking)

5: Describe five things that should never be done at a funeral

6: Try and write down the opposite of everything on your desk…..like for example the opposite of my xbox controller is a 1922 Roosevelt imperfection stamp.

 7: Figure out why in all of heck catholics decided to have rabbits lay eggs on easter…I suppose that isn’t a good poetic spark…I just really want to know.

8: Write down what ancient humans would think of a blender

9: Make up nine words that rhyme with silver

10: Write down what must be going through the minds of people who get their nipples pierced.
