Poetry Project #6

This year I started poetry projects. I pick a subject and then write several poems on it to explore the subject in-depth. This year I have explored the following.

  1. I love you, I know bracelets
  2. Hands
  3. Fear
  4. Fruits, vegetables, and mothers
  5. The Phoenix Project

And now I’m working on taking song lyrics and cutting them out to form new fragments of poems that I will later expand into longer poems. At Winter Wheat, I attended a cut out poetry session. We used song lyrics, but I’ve been wanting to explore Nightwish lyrics because I love every album. Starting with “Angels Fall First,” I have finished the first four songs and have more than twenty poem fragments.
