Read through the poem 2-3 times (preferably out loud).
- What feeling/tone do you get from the poem?
- What is it about?
- What poetic elements do you notice happening in this poem?
- Annotate and make sense of this poem.
Now for our prompts:
Inspired by Gwendolyn Brooks' poem, write about the things you wish you could do that you a forbidden to do.
Winter Tangerine prompt:
"Write about the last time you belly-laughed."
And finally, the Writer's Digest prompt:
"For today’s prompt, take the phrase “Follow (blank),” replace the blank with a new word or phrase, make the new phrase the title of your poem, and then, write your poem. Possible titles include: “Follow the Leader,” “Follow Me on Twitter,” “Follow Your Heart,” and/or “Follow the Light.” So many things to follow or not.
Remember: These prompts are just springboards; you have the freedom to jump in any direction you want. In other words, it’s more important to write a new poem than to stick to the prompt."
