April 30, 2018: Poetry Writing Prompt – Brendan Constantine
This poetry writing prompt submitted by Brendan Constantine:
Pt. 1
Think of a time when you were misunderstood. Consider the feeling of being misunderstood. Does it have a color? Lite or dark? Think of one. Does it have a texture, a surface? Rough or smooth? Does being misunderstood have a sound? Loud or soft?
Pt. 2
Think of a time when you misunderstood someone else. Consider also the corrective you thought of after, when it was too late.
Pt. 3
Compose a poem in which the speaker or subject commits an ‘act of misunderstanding.’ Have them try to fix it. Refer to your color, texture and sound.
