RANDOM WRITING TIP

Visit an art gallery or museum (or even search on the Web) and find a painting of a person who intrigues you. Make up a history, a life story, or an event for that person and write a narrative poem about him or her.


RANDOM READING TIP

RANDOM COLLABORATING TIP

Cut one of your poems up into words and phrases, place everything in a paper bag, and give the poem puzzle to a collaborator to piece together in a new way. (This can also be done through e-mail if you are collaborating with someone in a different area.)
