Snarl… not really, but I will be glad to get some of my days back. Today’s instructions: Select a source text . Copy down all of the questions it contains. Create a poem made up of a series of questions from your list. Working with a digital text? Press CTRL+F on a PC or COMMAND+F on a Mac, then search for the “?” character (no quotes). Alternately, use FPR Book Reviews Editor Doug Luman’s “Questions” tool. Select “Questions” from the drop-down list, paste your source text into the box, then press the “Run” button.
Can you imagine creating a poem that works, but only uses questions? My questions come from a book of questions and I enjoyed drawing out the ones I wanted to use: What Tree is Cut During Moonlight?
Other questions:
james moore: hadn’t you rather
Rebecca Siegel: What I Really Want to Know is This
Zann Carter: What Have You Done With It?
Nancy Chen Long: Let Me Ask You This
J.Lynn Sheridan: Two Novices in a Boat
Misky: Are Those Shadows Me?
Barbara C: Match.com
Richard Walker: Won’t You Be Scared?
Doug Luman: Burrowmaking
Alright, alright, I’ll stop, but there are so many I like, such cleverness and beauty. Enjoy and I will see you tomorrow.
One more from someone who occasionally shadows us: de’s Won’t you have a sip of ocean?

Oh, I like that, Jules. I’ve just written it down to try first thing after the mad month is done.

i, too, love this idea! you could just keep this going on and on – after answering the questions, give your poem to someone else who has to write questions they think your answers respond to, someone responds to those…etc, etc…

I like that, james. I may have to see if this will work as a prompt or squirrel it for my own list of really must try and dos.

I LOVED this exercise (if only to pull out Kuskin again, and enjoy her with my coffee). I want to play again, too. 🙂

Laughing… you, who toss off poems as fast as I can read them. Next April we’ll have to see if the FPR does another. I hope they do! Then you can see if you want to be official.

I would love that, if I can pay enough attention, and get my butt in gear early enough to actually enter. Or sign up. Or sign over my first born, or whatever. 😉
