RE: Fragments

in #poetry5 years ago (edited)

theres lots of little creative experiments you can do. i love the one bowie used to write lyrics. he either wrote down a stray line or clipped it from a magazine newspaper etc, then pieced them together. another way is to take for unfinished poems and alternate lines or stanzas, sort of like a schizo poem with several voices talking. i have an idea folder somewhere, lemme look for it.

another idea is to cross out what doesnt fit and save it for another piece. this is what it becomes in my head:

Inherited stars chasing shadows
Forgive the snow for falling
While we walk into chaos
This sun refuses to die
as I collapse in on myself like a dying star
A new star is shaped from the wreckage
of our destroyed universe

you might get a different feel just by subbing in lines.

Ooooo I love that! It feels so much more coherent already. Thank you- after summer school is over I’m going to try and get at least 1 poem written.
