Re: Forced Creativity

From another workshop of two attendees...

Write a poem on command.
Now. Be creative in 3 minutes or
Less. Find a hydrogen jukebox
In a cement sky dropping hail.

Now. Be creative in 3 minutes or
Lose the opportunity forever.
In a cement sky dropping hail
Find inspiration quicksilvering.

Lose the opportunity forever
So write it down before you forget.
Find inspiration quicksilvering
Along the sidewalk, sling it up.

Write it down before you forget
Lest you find a hydrogen jukebox
Along the sidewalk. Sling it up
Write a poem on command.

I love pantoums, and my attempts usually fail. Here's to you, poet :)
