OK options
Jess' Options:
1)Memories-Give me your saddest or happiest memory-make me feel like im there with you..feeling what you are feeling
2)Nature-This one I am going to be a bloody brute about. I want to know what your looking at by the details you give me. taste, touch, sight, hear, smell. If you choose this option you'd better be better than Edgar Allen Poe. Give it your very best.
3)Lotsa Fun- OK if you know the movie series Jack@$$
give me an idea that will be almost impossible even for the gang on the movies. Make me picture what you or a friend is doing.
4)Favorite Pop-write about your favoriet pop. Give me examples of what it reminds you of. A silly memory of you with your fav. pop, a sad memory. And make it have a main character as an animal if your going to make it silly
EX:
A kangaroo was sitting on a rock...
In antarctica..
Drinking Pepsi...
It had a baby..
It was drinking Root beer..
Something of that nature...
ok and dont use the example i will know
Skye's options
Option 1: I want you to think about clocks or something similar (i.e. watches, sundials, what have you). Think of the sound, the purpose, the origin, the look of it, any deep thought about any aspect of a time-keeping device. Write about it in any poetry form.
Option 2: Take a cliche or over-used proverb and dissect it, analyze it. Look up how it was used then and how it's used now, who said it, and why they did. (This is just giving you ideas, not requirements. If you want some examples of cliches/proverbs to use, message me here or on YIM.)
Option 3: Pick one of the following phrases and use it as either the literal or abstract subject of your poem. (You may use all of them in one poem, if you so desire.)
- little pink guitars
- I am the Walrus
- Mr. Pacman will eat you
- I'm a crazed rabid squirrel
- next round is on me
Option 4: Any prewrite that is 40 lines or less. It must follow the rules stated above, but I also don't want any hate poetry. (I mean as in no person-bashing... if you write about hating something else that isn't a human or religious being, it's okay.)
NOTE:When you put the option and the name of the optioner this is what we mean
Jess' op. 1
or
Skye's op. 2
Get it, Got it, GOOD!
