Once again, Laurie come up with a wonderful sequence of prompts to get our writing pens flowing. If I am ever so lucky to get back to the classroom and teach creative writing again, I think this group of writing activities will be my starters.
#1. Write down 5 words. Any words. Doesn't matter what part of speech or what they pertain to.
#2. Take each word and freewrite about it.
#3. List as many relatives as you can in a couple of minutes
#4. Write a declarative sentence about each one, revealing some detail about that person.
#5. Choose one of the relatives and write a short micro memoir or poem.
#6. Write down some song lyrics you know well. Several lines, if possible.
#7. Take each line and expand on it. Can do individually, or connect together somehow into a piece of writing.
#8. Go back to one of the words you free wrote about at the beginning. Expand one of the words into a poem or piece of writing.

Here are my final pieces of writing in the form of Pi-Ku. Like Pi (3.14) Like haiku because it is a very short form.
Three words
One word
Four words
My word was "shining." And that is always how I feel after our meetings -- all aglow!
