Inspiration by Images
Today in poetry class, we did the most fun thing we've ever done. It was called Inspiration by Images, in which we would go on to this website, find an image that we liked, and proceed to write a poem about the picture. It could be about anything that was describing the image, anything that came to your mind. It could be a narrative poem, dramatic monologue, anything that went with the photo. I extremely enjoyed this exercise, as it allowed me to be creative and yet have boundaries on my work. I strongly suggest this activity to anyone who likes to be have fun with poetry, as I certainly did today in class! Here is my favorite PicLit I did this afternoon!
