Rapid Brainstorming Poems
We took out sheets of paper and wrote phrases and words as quickly as possible without stopping, writing down:
- Adjectives that we used to describe ourselves (being as gracious as possible)
- Specific places in nature we’ve known (bodies of water, forests, trees, caves, play areas, parts of our own yards, etc.)
- Places we’ve known and loved (a street in New Orleans, a neighborhood in Chicago, a record or book store, a corner diner, a favorite city)
- What brings us joy and love - what do we really hold in our souls and in our hearts?
