Instant Poetry

In class today, we had a prompt to turn out a poem in ten minutes using specified items in the content.

I've rewritten the guidelines for the exercise below, in what I find to be a humorous style!

Exercise: Quick-Rising Insta-Poetry!

Recipe:

- 1 familiar adage, aphorism, or clichéd turn of phrase
- 5 of these 8 words, to taste:

  • Cliff
  • Needle
  • Whir
  • Voice
  • Blackberry
  • Cloud
  • Mother
  • Lick


Mix ingredients well for 10 Minutes and prepare in preferred style.
Break into Ten Lines.

Serves Many.

I'll post the poem that came out of my exercise in the near future.
