Writing/Poetry/Prose Exercise
Today's exercise is something a little different and out of the ordinary. I discovered this technique on a Sunday drive while listening to Angus and Julia Stone on the radio. Their music inspires me to write poetry/prose.
The beat of the music helps me to for the lines in rhyme. This happens quite naturally for me, so I thought it would be fun for you to try also.
a) choose some inspiring music (with or without words) something that evokes emotion in you and helps stir your creativity, music that you feel inspired by
b) Sit down with pen/paper/computer/ipad etc in a quiet place where you won't be interrupted for about 20 mins
c) Listen to the music through once without doing anything
d) listen to it a 2nd time and see if you can start writing a poem or some prose to the beat, if thats not working for you, jot down any ideas and inspiration from the music and write a poem after the music is finished. Just use the music to inspire something you write.
e) Post your poem here with a short explanation about your process, ie whether you wrote to the music or after the music and give us the title of the song/musician/band that inspired your poem/prose
