Oooh, here’s a challenge. Construct a verbatim poem. What’s a Verbatim poem? Here’s a link to the Verbatim website:
http://verbatimpoetry.blogspot.co.uk/p/how-to-write-verbatim-poem.html
If you scroll down the left-hand side of the webpage you’ll see a whole raft of subject matter. Poems have been ‘found’ in text messages, Facebook conversations, bird books, railway announcements… You can submit your poem to their website if it zings.
You’ll find verbatim poems on the right hand side of the page.
well isn’t this turning out to be an interesting way to write a poem/warm up to writing a poem – it would be a really easy thing to do with people who have never written poetry before too – great idea – eye-catching titles – lots of fun – thanks
