World Poetry Day Celebrations at Creative Writes Workshop today, 21 March 2012
Today at the Creative Writes workshop in Muswell Hill, we celebrated World Poetry Day by sharing our favourite poems and also by writing our own.
One of the exercises was to give your partner a list of words that were written during a fast paced free write! Your partner then used these words as a trigger to create their own poem and the results were inspirational (no feedback of course!).
Another exercise was to write the line ‘I remember when…” and let memories and images shape poetry or prose during the ten minutes.
As always, it was a pleasure to teach the workshop! Have a look here on the blog and my website for details on new Creative Writes workshops.
