Poetry Challenge #22-SURPRISE!

Look around you. What do you see that surprises you?

The house plants that have added new leaves and height?

Dust covering a surface you just cleaned?

The red flash

of a cardinal in the leafing tree?

Poetry Challenge #22

SURPRISE!

List as many things as you can and then rearrange them to make a poem.

Think about the order and the sound of the words and what makes it the most surprising poem you can make.

Set the timer for 7 minutes.

Start writing!

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