Tonight was my turn to facilitate the Study Group. I chose to do a poetry workshop. We worked on:
Creativity--something different, something that'll stay with you.
Cohesiveness--does everything relate, all the metaphors tie together all the way through the poem?
Impact--intuitive response.
Craftsmanship--use of metaphor, assonance, alliteration, form and structure.
Voice--attitude, personality, mood, rhythmic effectiveness.
We all enjoyed it. We laughed a lot. Some wrote silly limericks. Some were serious. Then we judge them all. The winner:
Foxwoods
Slot machines galore
and poker's downstairs
roulette spins lure
black jack's over there.
Ka-ching, Ka-ching
And the senior citizens
play on and on,
sorry can't join you,
money's all gone!
Told you we had fun.
