7-Minute Poetry Challenge #18-Moody Blues

In the mood? Not in the mood?

What gets you in the mood?

It’s sort of a Catch 22 question isn’t it?

Frankly, deciding what will get me in the mood depends on what I want to be gotten into the mood for?

That’s true for most of us, right? You know what else is true…

Our moods can be changed, affected, swayed, moved by tone.

I call this image “Moody Blues.” Get it?

Poetry Challenge #18

Moody Blues  

Pick two vowel sounds. Make a list of words that use each sound.

Write two verses of a poem—use one vowel sound in one verse and the other in the second. Try to use that chosen vowel sound it in as many words as you can in the verse.

What mood does each sound create for your poem?

Do you want your end words for each line to rhyme or not?

Set the timer for 7 minutes.

Start writing!

Don’t think about it too much; just do it.
