Prompt & Poem: I, Earth: Part I
My friend and fellow poet Denise Jolly (@djolly6) held a writing workshop here in Portland recently while on tour. Everyone who attended produced some great work from her elegantly simple prompt:
If ________ could speak, it might say…
UPDATE: Please visit Denise at DeniseJollySpoken.com
And here’s what it spawned from me—a serial poem in progress.
