Workshop: From Rolling Pins to Wrenches - Part 2
Let's write poems about objects, whether ordinary or extraordinary. Even the things of everyday hold mystery and power. Perhaps it’s the sparrow that is inadvertently smacked into your window or perhaps it’s something as simple as a bobby pin or that fresh tomato from your garden. Maybe it’s that key you don’t (yet) know what it opens. Use your imagination and the power of words to find an opening for you and your writing. It's especially important to use your senses when writing about objects.
Bring a pen/pencil and favorite notebook. Bring an object or two to inspire you. Bring your willingness to explore and write.
