Abstract

This poetry project will consist of writing one poem every day for twenty-one days. The poems must be over one-hundred words and use various forms of creativity. The objective of this project is to expand creativity to discover wild writing and new talents. Some poems will have drafts of pre-writing with image gathering, observations of everyday life, series of questions, and specific poem formats. After writing this series of poems, the works will be sorted by how much revision is needed. Selected poems will be divided into different formats of revision to create negative forms of the poem, cut and pasted poems, and poems that are completely rewritten from certain lines. Final versions of some poems will be selected for publication.
