1. Make a list of objects from your past. Make them concise and specific. (Exp: a broken vase, a new Pontiac Vibe, a T-Shirt floating in a pool). List about 5 of them.
2. Your poem will have 5 stanzas of three lines each. The first line of your stanza will start: "I come from ___________" with one of the subjects in the blank. The next two lines of the stanza are free reign for you to follow up the original statement.
Example:
I come from a broken vase
the creases in my hands sharp and reflective
my ribs stretching across, wishing they could harness a bouquet
...and repeat 4 more times. Go!
