Free Verse lessons always start with a brief warm-up to get the creativity flowing. Sometimes it's a short writing game or challenge, other times it's a reflective writing prompt. ✏️🃏🌊
Here's an example of what a Free Verse warm-up prompt can look like!⬇

❤Staff member / workshop facilitator Caroline shared their response......❤
🗣 "It's a terrible answer but - the rot of detritus. The smell of death in the water always brings me back to my childhood summers by the chesapeake bay. You really do get used to the stench, it starts to smell sweet if you're around it enough. Once you're past that point, it smells like excitement." 🗣
Thanks for sharing, Caroline! What do you all think? Terrible response, or terribly poetic 🥰🤩
